“When a condition or a problem becomes too great, humans have the protection of not thinking about it. But it goes inward and minces up with a lot of other things already there and what comes out is discontent and uneasiness, guilt and a compulsion to get something--anything--before it is all gone.”
― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

“It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises

“To be alive at all is to have scars.”
― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

“Only God sees the sparrow fall, but even God doesn't do anything about it.”
― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent
