John Steinbeck
“Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“Time interval is a strange and contradictory matter in the mind. It would be reasonable to suppose that a routine time or an eventless time would seem interminable. It should be so, but it is not. It is the dull eventless times that have no duration whatever. A time splashed with interest, wounded with tragedy, crevassed with joy - that's the time that seems long in the memory. And this is right when you think about it. Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“You can boast about anything if it's all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“He learned that when people are very poor they still have something to give and the impulse to give it.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden
