John Steinbeck
We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.
John Steinbeck
Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world
John Steinbeck
The study of history, while it does not endow with prophecy, may indicate lines of probability.
John Steinbeck
Up ahead they's a thousan' lives we might live, but when it comes it'll on'y be one.
John Steinbeck
Men all do about the same thing when they wake up.
John Steinbeck
