“Tom’s cowardice was as huge as his courage, as it must be in great men. His violence balanced his
tenderness, and himself was a pitted battlefield of his own forces. He was confused now, but Dessie could hold his bit and point him, the way a handler points a thoroughbred at the barrier to show his breeding and his form.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen.”
― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
― Rumi

“To be alive at all is to have scars.”
― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent
