"The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots."

Previous Quote

A writer out of loneliness is trying to communicate like a distant star sending signals. He isn't telling or teaching or ordering. Rather he seeks to establish a relationship of meaning, of feeling, of observing. We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.

— John Steinbeck
