Quote by John Steinbeck

“Tom , the third son, was most like his father. He was born in fury and he lived in lightning.Tom came headlong into life. He was a giant in joy and enthusiasms. He didn't discover the world and its people, he created them..He lived in a world shining and fresh and as uninspected as Eden on the sixth day.”

“Querido Pat: Viniste a verme mientras tallabas una figurilla en madera, y me dijiste: -¿ Por qué no me haces algo?- Te pregunté qué querías y respondiste: -Una caja-. -¿Para qué?- -Para poner cosas en ella-. -¿Que cosas?- -Todo lo que tengas-, dijiste. Bien, aquí tienes la caja que querías. He puesto en ella casi todo lo que yo tenía, y todavía no está llena. Hay en ella dolor y excitación, sentimientos buenos y malos, y malos pensamientos y buenos pensamientos..., el placer del constructor, algo de desesperación y el gozo indescriptible de la creación. Y todavía la caja no está colmada.”
