John Steinbeck Quotes

Now As Always - Humility And Terror. Fear That The Working Of My Pen Cannot Capture The Grinding Of My Brain. It Is So Easy To Understand Why The Ancients Prayed For The Help Of A Muse. And The Muse Came And Stood Beside Them, And We, Heaven Help Us, Do Not Believe In Muses. We Have Nothing To Fall Back On But Our Craftsmanship And It, As Modern Literature Attests, Is Inadequate. May I Be Honest; May I Be Decent; May I Be Unaffected By The Technique Of Hucksters. If Invocation Is Required, Let This Be My Invocation - May I Be Strong And Yet Gentle, Tender And Yet Wise, Wise And Yet Tolerant. May I For A Little While, Only For A Little While, See With The Inflamed Eyes Of A God.
