After the bare requisites of living and reproducing, man wants most to leave some record of himself, a proof, perhaps, that he has really existed. He leaves his proof on wood, on stone, or on the lives of other people. This deep desire exists in everyone, from the boy who scribbles on a wall to the Buddha who etches his image in the race mind.

In every bit of honest writing in the world, there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love.: John Steinbeck (1902 - 1968)
We find that after years of struggle we do not take a journey, but rather a journey takes us.: John Steinbeck (1902 - 1968), Travels with Charley
I know three things will never be believed-the true, the probable, and the logical.: John Steinbeck (1902 - 1968), The Winter of our Discontent, chapter 2
