John Steinbeck quotes

  • The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.

    - John Steinbeck
  • Texas is not a state -- it's a state of mind.

    - John Steinbeck
  • The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business.

    - John Steinbeck
  • The new American finds his challenge and his love in the traffic-choked streets, skies nested in smog, choking with the acids of industry, the screech of rubber and houses leashed in against one another while the town lets wither a time and die.

    - John Steinbeck
  • Lord, how the day passes! It is like a life, so quickly when we don't watch it, and so slowly if we do.

    - John Steinbeck
