The direction of a big act will warp history, but probably all acts do the same in their degree, down to a stone stepped over in the path or the breath caught at sight of a pretty girl or a fingernail nicked in the garden soil (John Steinbeck Quotes)
A kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid any more (John Steinbeck Quotes)
And, of course, people are interested only in themselves. If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen (John Steinbeck Quotes)
Do you take pride in your hurt? Does it make you seem large and tragic?... Well, think about it. Maybe you’re playing a part on a great stage with only yourself as audience (John Steinbeck Quotes)
This was an evil beyond thinking. The killing of a man was not so evil as the killing of a boat. For a boat does not have sons, and a boat cannot protect itself, and a wounded boat does not heal (John Steinbeck Quotes)
You can boast about anything if it’s all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast (John Steinbeck Quotes)
I think there must have been some other girl printed somewhere in his heart, for he was a man of love and his wife was not a woman to show her feelings (John Steinbeck Quotes)
You know most people live ninety per cent in the past, seven per cent in the present, and that only leaves them three per cent for the future (John Steinbeck Quotes)

Well, every little boy thinks he invented sin. Virtue we think we learn, because we are told about it. But sin is our own designing (John Steinbeck Quotes)
The ways of sin are curious... I guess if a man had to shuck off everything he had, inside and out, he’d manage to hide a few little sins somewhere for his own discomfort. They’re the last things we’ll give up (John Steinbeck Quotes)
It’s a hard thing to leave any deeply routine life, even if you hate it (John Steinbeck Quotes)
When you’re a child you’re the center of everything. Everything happens for you. Other people? They’re only ghosts furnished for you to talk to (John Steinbeck Quotes)
There ain’t no sin and there ain’t no virtue. There’s just stuff people do (John Steinbeck Quotes)
You’re going to pass something down no matter what you do or if you do nothing. Even if you let yourself go fallow, the weeds will grow and the brambles. Something will grow (John Steinbeck Quotes)
Men who have created new fruits in the world cannot create a system whereby those fruits may be eaten (John Steinbeck Quotes)
