John Steinbeck

A writer out of loneliness is trying to communicate like a distant star sending signals. He isn't telling or teaching or ordering. Rather he seeks to establish a relationship of meaning, of feeling, of observing. We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.
-John Steinbeck

A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, -policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
John Steinbeck

A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
-John Steinbeck

A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ.
-John Steinbeck

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.
