More quotes by John Steinbeck
A dying people tolerates the present, rejects the future, and finds its satisfactions in past greatness and half remembered glory
John Steinbeck
Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all.
John Steinbeck
Fearful and unprepared, we have assumed lordship over the life or death of the whole world, of all living things.
John Steinbeck
You're buying years of work, toil in the sun you're buying a sorrow that can't talk.
John Steinbeck
To the heavens on the wings of a pig.
John Steinbeck
Well, I git enough sorrow. I like to git away from it.
John Steinbeck
Must the hunger become anger and the anger fury before anything will be done?
John Steinbeck
It must be a hard thing to kill a man you don't know and don't hate.
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
We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.
John Steinbeck
Luck or tragedy, some people get runs. Then of course there are those who divide it even, good and bad, but we never hear of them. Such a life doesn't demand attention. Only the people who get the good or bad runs.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
Money is not nice. Money got no friends but more money.
John Steinbeck
When you know a friend is there you do not go to see him. Then he's gone and you blast your conscience to shreds that you did not see him.
John Steinbeck
...Samuel rode lightly on top of a book and he balanced happily among ideas the way a man rides white rapids in a canoe. But Tom got into a book, crawled and groveled between the covers, tunneled like a mole among the thoughts, and came up with the book all over his face and hands.
John Steinbeck
I think everyone in the world to a large or small extent has felt rejection. And with rejection comes anger, and with anger some kind of crime in revenge for the rejection, and with the crime guilt- and there is the story of mankind.
John Steinbeck
It seems to me Montana is a great splash of grandeur. The scale is huge but not overpowering. The land is rich with grass and color, and the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda.
John Steinbeck
There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.
John Steinbeck
Socialism is just another form of religion, and thus delusional.
John Steinbeck
One can find so many pains when the rain is falling.
John Steinbeck
