John Steinbeck
No one knows my ability the way I do. I am pushing against it all the time.
John Steinbeck
There is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little they crash and shatter.
John Steinbeck
I know three things will never be believed - the true, the probable, and the logical
John Steinbeck
There's a capacity for appetite... that a whole heaven and earth of cake can't satisfy
John Steinbeck
Money is not nice. Money got no friends but more money.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
Three hours of writing require twenty hours of preparation. Luckily I have learned to dream about the work, which saves me some working time.
John Steinbeck
When a man says he does not want to speak of something he usually means he can think of nothing else.
