“I have lost all sense of home, having moved about so much. It means to me now--only that place where the books are kept.”
― John Steinbeck

“I guess there are never enough books.”
― John Steinbeck, A John Steinbeck Encyclopedia

“I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I've lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

“For the most part people are not curious except about themselves.”
― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent
