John Steinbeck
The power of an attitude is amazing
John Steinbeck
Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.
John Steinbeck
I find out of long experience that I admire all nations and hate all governments

John Steinbeck
My own journey started long before I left, and was over before I returned.
John Steinbeck
One man was so mad at me that he ended his letter, Beware. You will never get out of this world alive.

John Steinbeck
You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
When you're huntin' somepin you're a hunter, an' you're strong. Can't nobody beat a hunter. But when you get hunted - that's different. Somepin happens to you. You ain't strong: maybe you're fierce, but you ain't strong. - Muley
John Steinbeck
The impulse of the American woman to geld her husband and castrate her sons is very strong.
John Steinbeck
It's almost impossible to read a fine thing without wanting to do a fine thing.
John Steinbeck
On all levels American society is rigged. I am troubled by the cynical immorality of my country. It cannot survive on this basis.
John Steinbeck
This was an evil beyond thinking. The killing of a man was not so evil as the killing of a boat. For a boat does not have sons, and a boat cannot protect itself, and a wounded boat does not heal.
John Steinbeck
Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.
John Steinbeck
