  1. A quotation from Steinbeck

    We have only one story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves of good and evil. And it occurs to me that evil must constantly re-spawn, while good, while virtue, is immortal. Vice has always a new fresh young face, while virtue is venerable as nothing else in the world is.

    John Steinbeck (1902-1968) American writer
    East of Eden, ch. 34 (1952)

  6. A little patch of land.
    Bread on the table.
    A dear friend you can talk to.
    A small house you can call Home.
    Rabbits…

    Such a modest dream. And yet so impossibly out of reach.

  17. “We are lonesome animals. We spend all of our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say—and to feel—‘yes, that is the way it is, or at least that’s the way I feel it. You’re not as alone as you thought.’”
    —John Steinbeck

  32. Never knew Steinbeck tackled King Arthur but I immediately grabbed it when I saw it in the Little Free Library I sometimes frequent. His lefty ass might give an interesting take on the mythos that have never really appealed to me but maybe in this form they will.
