More quotes by 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
Being at ease with himself put him at ease with the world.
John Steinbeck
[He] fell right into the oldest conviction in the world-- that the girl you are in love with can't possibly be anything but true and honest.
John Steinbeck
New York is a wonderful city... It is going to be the capital of the world.
John Steinbeck
Try to understand men. If you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and almost always leads to love.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
The impulse of the American woman to geld her husband and castrate her sons is very strong.
John Steinbeck
It is astounding to find that the belly of every black and evil thing is as white as snow. And it is saddening to discover how the concealed parts of angels are leporous.
John Steinbeck
Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study, and the passionate possession of all Texans.
John Steinbeck
You can only understand people if you feel them in yourself.
John Steinbeck
Give a critic an inch, he'll write a play.
John Steinbeck
A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean question: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well - or ill?
John Steinbeck
As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.
John Steinbeck
How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?
John Steinbeck
The nicest thing in the world you can do for anybody is let them help you.
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
It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming.
John Steinbeck
A study of animal communities has this advantage: they are merely what they are, for anyone to see who will and can look clearly they cannot complicate the picture by worded idealisms, by saying one thing and being another here the struggle is unmasked and the beauty is unmasked.
John Steinbeck
It don't cost money to ask.
John Steinbeck
We have to make a mark, even if it's only a scribble.
John Steinbeck
