Notes"The writer is delegated to declare and to celebrate man’s proven capacity for greatness of heart and spirit- for gallantry in defeat, for courage, compassion and love. In the endless war against weakness and despair, these are the bright rally flags of hope and of emulation. I hold that a writer who does not believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature."- John Steinbeck (Nobel Prize for literature acceptance speech 1962)
I think John Steinbeck’s amazing. If I could write one sentence that rings as true as any line in East of Eden, I would die happy.
