John Steinbeck

I've done my damndest to rip a reader's nerves to rags, I don't want him satisfied.
John Steinbeck
Image
For it is my opinion that we enclose and celebrate the freaks of our nation and our civilization. Yellowstone National Park is no more representative of America than is Disneyland.
John Steinbeck
Image
But a man needs company.
John Steinbeck
Image
There's nothing in the world like that first taste of beer.
John Steinbeck
Image
A little hope, even hopeless hope, never hurt anybody.
John Steinbeck
Image
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.
