John Steinbeck
“I'm wondering whether I can explain," said Lee. "Where there is no likeness of experience it's very difficult. I understand you were not born in America."
"No, in Ireland."
"And in a few years you can almost disappear; while I, who was born in Grass Valley, went to school and several years to the University of California, have no chance of mixing."
"If you cut your queue, dressed and talked like other people?"
"No. I tried it. To the so-called whites I was still a Chinese, but an untrustworthy one; and at the same time my Chinese friends steered clear of me. I had to give it up.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“Adam said, "I can't get over a feeling that Cain got the dirty end of the stick."
"Maybe he did," said Samuel. "But Cain lived and had children, and Abel lives only in the story. We are Cain's children. And isn't it strange that three grown men, here in a century so many thousands of years away, discuss this crime as though it happened in King City yesterday and hadn't come up for trial?”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“Adam started. He sighed deeply. "Isn't it too simple?" he asked. "I'm always afraid of simple things."
"It isn't simple at all," said Lee. "It's desperately complicated. But at the end there's light.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

José Rizal
“My greatest desire is my country's happiness, a happiness I would like to be owed to the mother country and the efforts of my fellow citizens, united with one another with eternal ties of common vigilance and common interests.”
José Rizal, Noli Me Tángere

José Rizal
“Frankly, the surprising thing about these peoples, when you set aside everyone’s national pride… before visiting a country, I tried to study its history, its Exodus, so to speak, and in the end I found they all followed a common course. In every instance I noted that a people’s prosperity or misery lay in direct proportion to its freedoms or its inhibitions and, along the same lines, of the sacrifice or selfishness of its ancestors.”
José Rizal, Noli Me Tángere
