John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
How can you frighten a man whose hunger is not only in his own cramped stomach but in the wretched bellies of his children? You can't scare him--he has known a fear beyond every other.
John Steinbeck
You're buying years of work, toil in the sun you're buying a sorrow that can't talk.
John Steinbeck
..it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world...It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel.
John Steinbeck
