More quotes by John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
We gather our arms full of guilt as though it were precious stuff. It must be that we want it that way.
John Steinbeck
Perhaps the less we have, the more we are required to brag.
John Steinbeck
Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.
John Steinbeck
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do...Try to be better than yourself.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
A good writer always works at the impossible.
John Steinbeck
I'm back with my own kind of people here now, the bums and drinkers and no goods and it is a fine thing.
John Steinbeck
There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.
John Steinbeck
How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?
John Steinbeck
I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion.
John Steinbeck
Being at ease with himself put him at ease with the world.
John Steinbeck
A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.
John Steinbeck
It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him.
John Steinbeck
