More quotes by John Steinbeck
Must the hunger become anger and the anger fury before anything will be done?
John Steinbeck
Don't you love Jesus?' Well, I thought an' I thought an' finally I says, 'No, I don't know nobody name' Jesus. I know a bunch of stories, but I only love people.
John Steinbeck
Ah, the prayers of the millions, how they must fight and destroy each other on their way to the throne of God.
John Steinbeck
A stilted heron labored up into the air and pounded down the river.
John Steinbeck
Being at ease with himself put him at ease with the world.
John Steinbeck
Change was everywhere. People were gone, or changed, and that was almost like being gone.
John Steinbeck
Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard.
John Steinbeck
The story [Henny-Penny] has the best opening in all literature-The sky is falling, cried Henny-Penny, and a piece of it fell on my tail.
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
In Spanish there is a word for which I can't find a counterword in English. It is the verb VACILAR... It does not mean vacillating at all. If one is vacilando, he is going somewhere, but does not greatly care whether or not he gets there, although he has direction.
John Steinbeck
A dog is a bond between strangers.
John Steinbeck
It's almost impossible to read a fine thing without wanting to do a fine thing.
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
Only mediocrity escapes criticism.
John Steinbeck
That man who is more then his elements knows the land that is more than its analysis.
John Steinbeck
I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.
John Steinbeck
You can boast about anything if it's all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast.
John Steinbeck
An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie. It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion.
John Steinbeck
Such is the prestige of the Nobel Award and of this place where I stand that I am impelled, not to speak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession and in the great and good men who have practised it through the ages.
John Steinbeck
To the heavens on the wings of a pig.
