So in our pride we ordered for breakfast an omelet, toast and coffee and what has just arrived is a tomato salad with onions, a dish of pickles, a big slice of watermelon and two bottles of cream soda (John Steinbeck Quotes)
The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true (John Steinbeck Quotes)

It would be absurd if we did not understand both angels and devils, since we invented them (John Steinbeck Quotes)
I need a dog pretty badly. I dreamed of dogs last night. They sat in a circle and looked at me and I wanted all of them (John Steinbeck Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I’m back with my own kind of people here now, the bums and drinkers and no goods and it is a fine thing (John Steinbeck Quotes)
A funeral isn’t for the dead. You’ll simply be a stage set for a kind of festival maybe. And besides, you won’t even be there (John Steinbeck Quotes)
Everyone I have ever known very well has been concerned that I would eventually starve. Probably I shall. It isn’t important enough to me to be an obsession (John Steinbeck Quotes)

A woman holds dreadful power over a man who is in love with her but she should realize that the quality and force of his love is the index of his potential contempt and hatred (John Steinbeck Quotes)
I have thought that men and women should never come together except in bed. There is the only place where their natural hatred of each other is not so apparent (John Steinbeck Quotes)
The warfare between the unaroused male and female is constant and ferocious. Each blames the other for his loss of soul (John Steinbeck Quotes)
A kind of second childhood falls on so many men. They trade their violence for the promise of a small increase of life span. In effect, the head of the house becomes the youngest child (John Steinbeck Quotes)
One pays for everything, the trick is not to pay too much of anything for anything (John Steinbeck Quotes)
I would like to sit still for a while but I’m restless you know and sitting still is only an ideal like celibacy and complete cleanliness (John Steinbeck Quotes)
I do not find illness an eminence, and I do not understand how people can use it to draw attention to themselves since the attention they draw is nearly always reluctantly given and unpleasantly carried out (John Steinbeck Quotes)
Just as our bread, mixed and baked, packaged and sold without benefit of accident or human frailty, is uniformly good and uniformly tasteless, so will our speech become one speech (John Steinbeck Quotes)
