More quotes by John Steinbeck
In utter loneliness a writer tries to explain the inexplicable.
John Steinbeck
This I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.
John Steinbeck
We only have one story. All novels, all poetry are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves of good and evil.
John Steinbeck
My own journey started long before I left, and was over before I returned.
John Steinbeck
Must the hunger become anger and the anger fury before anything will be done?
John Steinbeck
One can't be happy as I have been for very long. There's a law against it. I have worked hard and enjoyed my work and it is the punishment of man to hate his work. Sooner or later I will have work that I hate.
John Steinbeck
It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
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
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
An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.
John Steinbeck
Misfortune is a fact of nature acceptable to women, especially when it falls on other women.
John Steinbeck
It is a nice thing to be working and believing in my work again. I hope I can keep the drive. I only feel whole and well when it is this way.
John Steinbeck
It would be good to live in a perpetual state of leave-taking, never to go nor to stay, but to remain suspended in that golden emotion of love and longing to be loved without satiety.
John Steinbeck
Money is not nice. Money got no friends but more money.
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 straightening shyness that assails one.
John Steinbeck
You got a God. Don't make no difference if you don' know what he looks like.
John Steinbeck
People who are most afraid of their dreams convince themselves they don't dream at all.
John Steinbeck
He learned that when people are very poor they still have something to give and the impulse to give it.
John Steinbeck
I think everyone in the world to a large or small extent has felt rejection. And with rejection comes anger, and with anger some kind of crime in revenge for the rejection, and with the crime guilt- and there is the story of mankind.
John Steinbeck
Prayer never brought in no side-meat. Takes a shoat to bring in pork.
John Steinbeck
