More quotes by John Steinbeck
Americans are much more American than they are Northerners, Southerners, Westerners, or Easterners ... California Chinese, Boston Irish, Wisconsin German, yes, Alabama Negroes, have more in common than they have apart ... The American identity is an exact and provable thing.
John Steinbeck
You can't go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory.
John Steinbeck
... every little boy thinks he invented sin.
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
A man with a beard was always a little suspect anyway. You couldn't say you wore a beard because you liked a beard. People didn't like you for telling the truth. You had to say you had a scar so you couldn't shave.
John Steinbeck
Writing to me is a deeply personal, even a secret function and when the product I turned loose it is cut off from me and I have no sense of its being mine. Consequently criticism doesn't mean anything to me. As a disciplinary matter, it is too late.
John Steinbeck
Never correct or rewrite until the whole thing is down.
John Steinbeck
I have no interest in the printed word. I would continue to write if there were no writing and no print. I put my words down for a matter of memory. They are more made to be spoken than to be read.
John Steinbeck
A funeral isn't for the dead. You'll simply be a stage set for a kind of festival maybe. And besides, you won't even be there.
John Steinbeck
If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.
John Steinbeck
Thou mayest rule over sin.
John Steinbeck
There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do.
John Steinbeck
There are some times...when the love for people is strong and warm like a sorrow.
John Steinbeck
New York is a wonderful city... It is going to be the capital of the world.
John Steinbeck
Man has a choice and it's a choice that makes him a man.
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 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
When we get these thruways across the whole country, as we will and must, it will be possible to drive from New York to California without seeing a single thing.
John Steinbeck
My own journey started long before I left, and was over before I returned.
John Steinbeck
...no gift will ever buy back a man's love when you have removed his self-love.
John Steinbeck
