Additional quotes by John Steinbeck

...of course, people are interested only in themselves. If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen. And I here make a rule - a great and lasting story is about everyone or it will not last. The strange and foreign is not interesting - only the deeply personal and familiar.

We do know that we are cheated from birth to the overcharge on our coffins.

If you're in trouble or hurt or need–go to poor people. They're the only ones that'll help–the only ones. - John Steinbeck
