John Steinbeck
“I think everyone in the world to a large or small extent has felt rejection. And with rejection comes anger, and with anger some kind of crime in revenge for the rejection, and with the crime guilt-- and there is the story of mankind. I think that if rejection could be amputated, the human would not be what he is ... It is all there-- that start, the beginning.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“There was something set apart about her. She seemed to always be listening. When she was reading, her face would be like the face of one listening to music. And when we asked her any question, why, she gave the answer, if she knew it-- not painted up and full of color and "maybes" and "it-might-bes" the way the rest of us would. We were always full of bull. There was some pure simple thing in Una.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“Maybe you've tumbled a world for me. And I don't know what I can build in my world's place. Lee said softly, "Couldn't a world be built around accepted truth? Couldn't some pains and insanities be rooted out if the causes were known?”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“I mean, I know it can look like work's about interpersonal relationships, but it isn't about people at all. It's just a matter of structures. Situations. Sometimes work pisses me off, but I never let it leave a mark. I know I vent about that stuff a lot, but I'm like a brick wall. Nothing gets to me, ever.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

John Steinbeck
“I do not want, never have wanted, money for itself. But money is necessary to keep my place in a category I am used to and comfortable in.”
John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent
