In Dubious Battle by John Steinbeck
"As always, I love Steinbeck's voice and style.. I also loved that he dropped the F- bomb in this novel.

It reminded me of Émile Zola's 'Germinal', and Upton Sinclair's 'The Jungle'.. both great novels about the struggles of the working class. We've ga" Read more of this review »

In Dubious Battle by John Steinbeck
"In Dubious Battle is the first of Steinbeck’s three Dust Bowl novels, with Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath being the other two. While all three books amply display Steinbeck’s profound empathy for those who are marginalized and disenfranchise" Read more of this review »

In Dubious Battle by John Steinbeck

“distractions A hornet stings, but does not hurt me Because the beer I am drinking Is man made Well, nature made the hornet And nature made me And we refuse to get along Because I smash him with my shoe, for stinging me And that’s the history of countries made by Man And the history of the world And I am simpleton because I refuse To understand my life Politics and religions cloud me And I am as poor as a hummingbird Only buzzing with sound As the ships of the world crash around me”
― Damion Hamilton, The Human Condition: Poems by

“Strange Things       It’s strange the things people say To you The things people do you Which may not have much Significance at the time But on reflection, Days, months, Even years later Have so much significance A strange person coming Into your life at a strange moment Or something good Happening”
― Damion Hamilton, Written In Stone

“Lottery Ticket     There’s so much Which goes unheard and unspoken   I watch a woman in a nurse’s uniform Stand in line buying a small stack of lottery tickets   Her voice is tired along with her hair And the back of her scalp   She’s hoping one of those lottery Tickets will serve as a vehicle out Of her job and her life I watch people standing in line Buying those lottery tickets And feel very sad   Waiting”
― Damine Hamilton, Internet Poetry

“Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
― Winston S. Churchill

“I utter what you would not dare think.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.”
