Undoubtedly one of the greatest works of fiction of all time.

It is so much more than just a story - the layers that Steinbeck has added are absolutely incredible.

Has significantly changed my outlook on life.

Quotes by Alexander Zenon  (?)

“The events that may befall you tomorrow are not new or novel, and the emotions that you will experience have been felt by countless others throughout the crashing torrent of time.

They survived. Why can’t you?”
Alexander Zenon

“In an era characterized by incessant noise and constant distraction, we often find our minds pulled from one thought to another like a leaf in an October breeze. We are so preoccupied by modern living that we become totally disconnected from our ancient human roots in the natural world.”
Alexander Zenon, The Stoic Handbook: A Practical Guide for Modern Life

“Humans are not made for sitting at a desk all day. We have been evolving for millions of years to hunt animals through dense forest and vast plains. To walk huge distances in search of water. To spend hours searching for edible fruit to bring home to our families. The sedentary lifestyle many of us lead these days is no more than a by-product of the last few centuries.”
Alexander Zenon

“We are existing in a thin sliver of light between two potentially infinite portions of darkness.”
Alexander Zenon, The Stoic Handbook: A Practical Guide for Modern Life

“We human beings are not hive animals. We aren’t like bees or ants who just work constantly for the good of the community.”
