More quotes by John Steinbeck
How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?
John Steinbeck
All Americans believe that they are born fishermen. For a man to admit a distaste for fishing would be like denouncing mother-love or hating moonlight.
John Steinbeck
And now the forces marshaled around the concept of the group have declared a war of extermination on that preciousness, the mind of man.
John Steinbeck
You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway.
John Steinbeck
Luck or tragedy, some people get runs. Then of course there are those who divide it even, good and bad, but we never hear of them. Such a life doesn't demand attention. Only the people who get the good or bad runs.
John Steinbeck
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do...Try to be better than yourself.
John Steinbeck
I have lost all sense of home, having moved about so much. It means to me now--only that place where the books are kept.
John Steinbeck
Why do men like me want sons? he wondered. It must be because they hope in their poor beaten souls that these new men, who are their blood, will do the things they were not strong enough nor wise enough nor brave enough to do. It is rather like another chance at life like a new bag of coins at a table of luck after your fortune is gone.
John Steinbeck
A dying organism is often observed to be capable of extraordinary endurance and strength. .. When any living organism is attacked, its whole function seems to aim towards reproduction.
John Steinbeck
Then the hard, dry Spaniards came exploring through, greedy and realistic, and their greed was for gold or God. They collected souls as they collected jewels. They gathered mountains and valleys, rivers and whole horizons, the way a man might now gain tittle to building lots.
John Steinbeck
He drank too much when he could get it, ate too much when it was there, talked too much all the time.
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
Like most modern people, I don't believe in prophecy or magic and then spend half my time practicing it.
John Steinbeck
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
John Steinbeck
It requires self-esteem to receive-not self-love but just a pleasant acquaintance and liking for oneself.
John Steinbeck
That man who is more then his elements knows the land that is more than its analysis.
John Steinbeck
To be alive at all is to have scars.
John Steinbeck
Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.
John Steinbeck
Can you honestly love a dishonest thing?
John Steinbeck
And their greed was for gold or God. They collected souls as they collected jewels.
