“They had spoken once, but there is not need for speech if it is only a habit anyway.”
― John Steinbeck, The Pearl

“For it is said that humans are never satisfied, that you give them one thing and they want something more. And this is said in disparagement, whereas it is one of the greatest talents the species has and one that has made it superior to animals that are satisfied with what they have.”
― John Steinbeck, The Pearl

“Se dice que los humanos no se satisfacen jamás, que se les da una cosa y siempre quieren algo más. Y se dice esto con erróneo desprecio, ya que es una de las mayores virtudes que tiene la especie y la que la hace superior a los animales que se dan por satisfechos con lo que tienen.”
― John Steinbeck, The Pearl
