John Steinbeck
My own journey started long before I left, and was over before I returned.

In poverty she is envious. In riches she may be a snob. Money does not change the sickness, only the symptoms
John Steinbeck
Strength and success they are above morality, above criticism. It seems then, that it is not what you do, but how you do it and what you call it.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.
John Steinbeck
I suffer as always from the fear of putting down the first line. It is amazing the terrors, the magics, the prayers, the straitening shyness that assail one. It is as though the words were not only indelible but that they spread out like dye in water and color everything around them. A strange and mystic business, writing.
John Steinbeck
And Tom brought him chicken soup until he wanted to kill him. The lore has not died out of the world, and you will still find people who believe that soup will cure any hurt or illness and is no bad thing to have for the funeral either.
John Steinbeck
