More quotes by John Steinbeck
Money is not nice. Money got no friends but more money.
John Steinbeck
Within that frame he went a long way and burned a deep scar.
John Steinbeck
Some men are friends with the whole world in their hearts, and there are others that hate themselves and spread their hatred around like butter on hot bread.
John Steinbeck
I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.
John Steinbeck
Sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids.
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
Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world
John Steinbeck
I've always tried out my material on my dogs first. Years ago, when my red setter chewed up the manuscript of 'Of Mice and Men,' I said at the time that the dog must have been an excellent literary critic.
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
I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere.
John Steinbeck
A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.
John Steinbeck
We have usurped many of the powers we once ascribed to God.
John Steinbeck
I think of my life as a kind of music, not always good music but still having form and melody.
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
Intentions, good or bad, are not enough. There's luck or fate or something else that takes over.
John Steinbeck
Many are the stories I have heard about myself. I have mistresses I have never met. When I hear that I am a sodomist and a zoophalist then I shall know that I have reached the high point of fame, but I suppose I can hardly expect such exaltation for many years.
John Steinbeck
For it is my opinion that we enclose and celebrate the freaks of our nation and our civilization. Yellowstone National Park is no more representative of America than is Disneyland.
John Steinbeck
... every little boy thinks he invented sin.
John Steinbeck
A strange species we are, We can stand anything God and nature can throw at us save only plenty. If I wanted to destroy a nation, I would give it too much, and I would have it on its knees, miserable, greedy, sick. --John Steinbeck to Adlai Stevenson
John Steinbeck
Books are the best friends you can have they inform you, and entertain you, and they don't talk back.
John Steinbeck
