More quotes by John Steinbeck
Only mediocrity escapes criticism.
John Steinbeck
The people in flight from the terror behind-strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever.
John Steinbeck
I should have known I am the rain. I am the land and I am the rain. The grass will grow out of me in a little while.
John Steinbeck
Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver. You are fed, yet hunger gnaws you. You have been loved, but your yearning wanders in new fields. And to prod all these there's time, the Bastard Time.
John Steinbeck
I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
John Steinbeck
The Mexican War was a training ground for generals, so that when the sad self-murders settled on us, the leaders knew the techniques for making it properly horrible.
John Steinbeck
To be alive at all is to have scars.
John Steinbeck
In utter loneliness a writer tries to explain the inexplicable.
John Steinbeck
Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page a day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised.
John Steinbeck
Humanity has been passing through a gray and desolate time of confusion.
John Steinbeck
Don't make everyone know about your sadness.
John Steinbeck
Farewell has a sweet sound of reluctance. Good-by is short and final, a word with teeth sharp to bite through the string that ties past to the future.
John Steinbeck
life passes by in a wink so try to never miss a moment of it
John Steinbeck
Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.
John Steinbeck
When you know a friend is there you do not go to see him. Then he's gone and you blast your conscience to shreds that you did not see him.
John Steinbeck
We can shoot rockets into space but we can't cure anger or discontent.
John Steinbeck
A woman holds dreadful power over a man who is in love with her but she should realize that the quality and force of his love is the index of his potential contempt and hatred.
John Steinbeck
The church and the whorehouse arrived in the Far West simultaneously. And each would have been horrified to think it was a different facet of the same thing. But surely they were both intended to accomplish the same thing: the singing, the devotion, the poetry of the churches took a man out of his bleakness for a time, and so did the brothels.
John Steinbeck
A book is like a man - clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly.
John Steinbeck
We gather our arms full of guilt as though it were precious stuff. It must be that we want it that way.
John Steinbeck
