Thou mayest rule over sin.
John Steinbeck
For many years we have suckled on fear and fear alone, and there is no good product of fear.
John Steinbeck
I have no interest in the printed word. I would continue to write if there were no writing and no print. I put my words down for a matter of memory. They are more made to be spoken than to be read.
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
I guess I'm trying to say, Grab anything that goes by. It may not come around again.
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
There are no ugly questions except those clothed in condescension.
John Steinbeck
...to find where you are going, you must know where you are.
John Steinbeck
And finally comes culture, which is entertainment, relaxation, transport out of the pain of living.
John Steinbeck
I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
John Steinbeck
I remember my childhood names for grasses and secret flowers. I remember where a toad may live and what time the birds awaken in the summer -- and what trees and seasons smelled like -- how people looked and walked and smelled even. The memory of odors is very rich.
John Steinbeck
[He] fell right into the oldest conviction in the world-- that the girl you are in love with can't possibly be anything but true and honest.
John Steinbeck
Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver. You are fed, yet hunger gnaws you. You have been loved, but your yearning wanders in new fields. And to prod all these there's time, the Bastard Time.
John Steinbeck
I don’t mind getting smacked on the chin. I just don’t want to get nibbled to death. There’s a difference.
John Steinbeck
Doc tips his hat to dogs as he drives by and the dogs look up and smile at him.
John Steinbeck
With all our horrors and faults, somewhere in us there is a shining.
John Steinbeck
Three hours of writing require twenty hours of preparation. Luckily I have learned to dream about the work, which saves me some working time.
John Steinbeck
Writing to me is a deeply personal, even a secret function and when the product I turned loose it is cut off from me and I have no sense of its being mine. Consequently criticism doesn't mean anything to me. As a disciplinary matter, it is too late.
John Steinbeck
If you understand each other you will be kind to each other.
John Steinbeck
The people in flight from the terror behind-strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever.
John Steinbeck
