More quotes by John Steinbeck
People don't want advice...only corroboration.
John Steinbeck
Change was everywhere. People were gone, or changed, and that was almost like being gone.
John Steinbeck
There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do.
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
You're buying years of work, toil in the sun you're buying a sorrow that can't talk.
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
I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
John Steinbeck
It requires self-esteem to receive-not self-love but just a pleasant acquaintance and liking for oneself.
John Steinbeck
War ... a reversal of the rules where a man is permitted to kill all the humans he can.
John Steinbeck
Some people there are who, being grown forget the horrible task of learning to read. It is perhaps the greatest single effort that the human undertakes, and he must do it as a child.
John Steinbeck
She wasn't happy, but then she wasn't unhappy. She wasn't anything. But I don't believe anyone is a nothing. There has to be something inside, if only to keep the skin from collapsing. This vacant eye, listless hand, this damask cheek dusted like a doughnut with plastic powder, had to have a memory or a dream.
John Steinbeck
A stilted heron labored up into the air and pounded down the river.
John Steinbeck
Must the hunger become anger and the anger fury before anything will be done?
John Steinbeck
All great and precious things are lonely.
John Steinbeck
Fearful and unprepared, we have assumed lordship over the life or death of the whole world, of all living things.
John Steinbeck
Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.
John Steinbeck
He had an idea that even when beaten he could steal a little victory by laughing at defeat.
John Steinbeck
(Suicide) takes some doing, with maybe pain and maybe hell.
John Steinbeck
The people in flight from the terror behind-strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever.
John Steinbeck
All of them had a restlessness in common.
John Steinbeck
