More quotes by John Steinbeck
Evening of a hot day started the little wind to moving among the leaves. The shade climbed up the hills toward the top. On the sand banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little gray, sculptured stones.
John Steinbeck
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.
John Steinbeck
I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion.
John Steinbeck
Failure is a state of mind. It's like one of those sand traps an ant lion digs. You keep sliding back. Takes one hell of a jump to get out of it.
John Steinbeck
I believe that love cannot be bought except with love.
John Steinbeck
Lord, how the day passes! It's like a life - so quickly when we don't watch it and so slowly when we do.
John Steinbeck
I'm back with my own kind of people here now, the bums and drinkers and no goods and it is a fine thing.
John Steinbeck
There are people who will say that this whole account is a lie, but a thing isn't necessarily a lie even if it didn't necessarily happen.
John Steinbeck
Within that frame he went a long way and burned a deep scar.
John Steinbeck
Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.
John Steinbeck
I have seen too many men go down, and I never permit myself to forget that one day, through accident or under the charge of a younger, stronger knight, I too will go down.
John Steinbeck
I have lost all sense of home, having moved about so much. It means to me now--only that place where the books are kept.
John Steinbeck
An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.
John Steinbeck
They's times when how you feel got to be kep' to yourself.
John Steinbeck
Ah, the prayers of the millions, how they must fight and destroy each other on their way to the throne of God.
John Steinbeck
Show me the man who isn't interested in discussing himself.
John Steinbeck
I know people who are so immersed in road maps that they never see the countryside they pass through, and others who, having traced a route, are held to it as though held by flanged wheels to rails.
John Steinbeck
The sale of souls to gain the whole world is completely voluntary and almost unanimous...but not quite.
John Steinbeck
Then the hard, dry Spaniards came exploring through, greedy and realistic, and their greed was for gold or God. They collected souls as they collected jewels. They gathered mountains and valleys, rivers and whole horizons, the way a man might now gain tittle to building lots.
John Steinbeck
Some men hunger so much for love that they lose everything that is loveable about them.
John Steinbeck
