John Steinbeck
A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean question: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well - or ill?
John Steinbeck
Trips to fairly unknown regions should be made twice once to make mistakes and once to correct them.
John Steinbeck
If you are in love-that's a good thing-that's about the best thing that can happen to anyone.
John Steinbeck
The story [Henny-Penny] has the best opening in all literature-The sky is falling, cried Henny-Penny, and a piece of it fell on my tail.

John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
But you can't start. Only a baby can start. You and me - why, we're all that's been. The anger of a moment, the thousand pictures, that's us. This land, this red land, is us and the flood years and the dust years and the drought years are us. We can't start again.
John Steinbeck
Good God, what a mess of draggle-tail impulses a man is--and a woman too, I guess.
John Steinbeck
A man without words is a man without thought.
John Steinbeck
As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.
John Steinbeck
Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study, and the passionate possession of all Texans.
John Steinbeck
Prayer never brought in no side-meat. Takes a shoat to bring in pork.
John Steinbeck
I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
John Steinbeck
A book is like a man - clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly.
John Steinbeck
One can find so many pains when the rain is falling.
John Steinbeck
The dairy man had a Ph.D. in mathematics, and he must have had some training in philosophy. He liked what he was doing and he didn't want to be somewhere else - one of the few contented people I met in my whole journey.
John Steinbeck
You can't slice up morals.
