John Steinbeck
Prayer never brought in no side-meat. Takes a shoat to bring in pork.
John Steinbeck
Money is not nice. Money got no friends but more money.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
I seen too many guys with land in their head. They never get none under their hand.
John Steinbeck
The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.
John Steinbeck
Doc tips his hat to dogs as he drives by and the dogs look up and smile at him.
John Steinbeck
War ... a reversal of the rules where a man is permitted to kill all the humans he can.
John Steinbeck
