Text Quotes
You’re buying years of work, toil in the sun; you’re buying a sorrow that can’t talk  (John Steinbeck Quotes) No story has power, nor will it last, unless we feel in ourselves that it is true and true of us  (John Steinbeck Quotes) I think today if we forbade our illiterate children to touch the wonderful things of our literature, perhaps they might steal them and find secret joy  (John Steinbeck Quotes) With knowledge there is no hope,... without hope I would sit motionless, rusting like unused armor  (John Steinbeck Quotes) For how can you remember the feel of pleasure or pain or choking emotion? You can remember only that you had them  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars  (John Steinbeck Quotes) You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Just like heaven. Ever’body wants a little piece of lan’. I read plenty of books out here. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just in their head. They’re all the time talkin’ about it, but it’s jus’ in their head  (John Steinbeck Quotes) I know a little bit about a great many things and not enough about any one to make a living in these times  (John Steinbeck Quotes) It is possible, even probable, to be told a truth about a place, to accept it, to know it and at the same time not to know anything about it  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Doc tips his hat to dogs as he drives by and the dogs look up and smile at him  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Sometimes when she was alone, and she knew she was alone, she permitted her mind to play in a garden, and she smiled  (John Steinbeck Quotes) The theater is the only institution in the world which has been dying for four thousand years and has never succumbed. It requires tough and devoted people to keep it alive  (John Steinbeck Quotes) The sale of souls to gain the whole world is completely voluntary and almost unanimous... but not quite  (John Steinbeck Quotes) There’s a capacity for appetite... that a whole heaven and earth of cake can’t satisfy  (John Steinbeck Quotes) We gather our arms full of guilt as though it were precious stuff. It must be that we want it that way  (John Steinbeck Quotes) The words are meaningless except in terms of feeling. Does anyone act as the result of thought or does feeling stimulate action and sometimes thought implement it  (John Steinbeck Quotes) So much there is to see, but our morning eyes describe a different world than do our afternoon eyes, and surely our wearied evening eyes can report only a weary evening world  (John Steinbeck Quotes) And finally, in our time a beard is the one thing that a woman cannot do better than a man, or if she can her success is assured only in a circus  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Sometimes, a lie is told in kindness. I don’t believe it ever works kindly. The quick pain of truth can pass away, but the slow, eating agony of a lie is never lost  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Out of all this struggle a good thing is going to grow. That makes it worthwhile  (John Steinbeck Quotes) The sad ones are those who waste their energy in trying to hold it back, for they can only feel bitterness in loss and no joy in gain  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Some men are friends with the whole world in their hearts, and there are others that hate themselves and spread their hatred around like butter on hot bread  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don’t believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Somewhere in the world there is a defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory  (John Steinbeck Quotes) I have seen too many men go down, and I never permit myself to forget that one day, through accident or under the charge of a younger, stronger knight, I too will go down  (John Steinbeck Quotes) Act out being alive, like a play. And after a while, a long while, it will be true  (John Steinbeck Quotes) If a man ordered a beer milkshake he’d better do it in a town where he wasn’t known  (John Steinbeck Quotes) For every man in the world functions to the best of his ability, and no one does less than his best, no matter what he may think about it  (John Steinbeck Quotes) He had an idea that even when beaten he could steal a little victory by laughing at defeat  (John Steinbeck Quotes)
