More quotes by John Steinbeck
Only God sees the sparrow fall, but even God doesn't do anything about it.
John Steinbeck
It is the nature of a person as he/she grows older to protest against change, particularly changes for the better.
John Steinbeck
Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.
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

John Steinbeck
All great and precious things are lonely.
John Steinbeck
Men really need sea-monsters in their personal oceans. An ocean without its unnamed monsters would be like a completely dreamless sleep.
John Steinbeck
Boileau said that Kings, Gods and Heroes only were fit subjects for literature. The writer can only write about what he admires. Present-day kings aren't very inspiring, the gods are on a vacation and about the only heroes left are the scientists and the poor.
John Steinbeck
Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
John Steinbeck
Pictures... are also opinions... [they] set down what the camera operator sees and he sees what he wants to see and what he loves and hates and pities and is proud of.
John Steinbeck
I know people who are so immersed in road maps that they never see the countryside they pass through, and others who, having traced a route, are held to it as though held by flanged wheels to rails.
John Steinbeck
Maybe ever'body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.
John Steinbeck
Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page a day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised.
John Steinbeck
Some men are friends with the whole world in their hearts, and there are others that hate themselves and spread their hatred around like butter on hot bread.
John Steinbeck
(Suicide) takes some doing, with maybe pain and maybe hell.
John Steinbeck
Doc tips his hat to dogs as he drives by and the dogs look up and smile at him.
John Steinbeck
Evening of a hot day started the little wind to moving among the leaves. The shade climbed up the hills toward the top. On the sand banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little gray, sculptured stones.
John Steinbeck
I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion.
John Steinbeck
It's almost impossible to read a fine thing without wanting to do a fine thing.
John Steinbeck
Only through immitation do we develop toward originality.
John Steinbeck
