When Pigs Fly
Throughout John Steinbeck's life he would inscribe his letters with his personal "Pigasus" logo - a pig with wings with the Lattin motto meaning "To the stars on the wings of a pig." The logo was to symbolize himself "a lumbering soul but trying to fly."
I got this little tidbit from the bio page in Of Mice and Men.
On the back of the book is a photo of Steinbeck smoking a cigarette. He smoked a lot and died of consumptive heart failure in 1968. Sometimes humbler achievements, like quit smoking, can be more important than waiting for pigs to fly.
