A plan is a real thing, and things projected are experienced. A plan once made and visualized becomes reality along with other realities—never to be destroyed but easily to be attacked.

One man was so mad at me that he ended his letter, Beware. You will never get out of this world alive.
John Steinbeck
Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.
John Steinbeck
Doc tips his hat to dogs as he drives by and the dogs look up and smile at him.
John Steinbeck
A book is somehow sacred. A dictator can kill and maim people, can sink to any kind of tyranny and only be hated, but when books are burned the ultimate in tyranny has happened. This we cannot forgive.
John Steinbeck
I believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents.... The face and body may be perfect, but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can produce physical monsters, may not the same process produce a malformed soul?
John Steinbeck
When the virus of restlessness begins to take possession of a wayward man, and the road away from Here seems broad and straight and sweet, the victim must first find himself a good and sufficient reason for going.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
Humanity has been passing through a gray and desolate time of confusion.
John Steinbeck
I suffer as always from the fear of putting down the first line. It is amazing the terrors, the magics, the prayers, the straitening shyness that assail one. It is as though the words were not only indelible but that they spread out like dye in water and color everything around them. A strange and mystic business, writing.
John Steinbeck
Courage and fear were one thing too.
John Steinbeck
No one knows my ability the way I do. I am pushing against it all the time.
John Steinbeck
Men don't get knocked out, or I mean they can fight back against big things. What kills them is erosion they get nudged into failure. They get slowly scared.[...]It's slow. It rots out your guts.
John Steinbeck
We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.
John Steinbeck
A dog is a bond between strangers.
John Steinbeck
Death was a friend, and sleep was Death's brother.
John Steinbeck
Like most modern people, I don't believe in prophecy or magic and then spend half my time practicing it.
John Steinbeck
I have wondered why is it that some people are less affected and torn by the verities of life and death that others.
John Steinbeck
And finally comes culture, which is entertainment, relaxation, transport out of the pain of living.
John Steinbeck
