“In every bit of honest writing in the world, there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other.

There is writing promoting social change, writing punishing injustice, writing in celebration of heroism, but always that base theme. TRY TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER!”
― John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men

“We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?”

“At moments of great enthusiasm it seems to me that no one in the world has ever made something this beautiful and important.”
