John Steinbeck Quote
Is it responsibility or blame that bothers you? I don't want blame.Sometimes responsibility is worse. It doesn't carry any pleasant egotism.I was thinking about that time when Sam Hamilton and you and I had a long discussion about a word, said Adam. What was that word?Now I see. The word was timshel.Timshel-and you said-I said that word carried a man's greatness if he wanted to take advantage of it.I remember Sam Hamilton felt good about it.It set him free, said Lee. It gave him the right ot be a man, seperate from every other man.That's lonely.All great and precious things are lonely.
