John Steinbeck Quote
You’re pretty full of yourself. You’re marveling at the tragic spectacle of Caleb Trask—Caleb themagnificent, the unique. Caleb whose suffering should have its Homer. Did you ever think of yourselfas a snot-nose kid—mean sometimes, incredibly generous sometimes? Dirty in your habits, andcuriously pure in your mind. Maybe you have a little more energy than most, just energy, but outsideof that you’re very like all the other snot-nose kids. Are you trying to attract dignity and tragedy toyourself because your mother was a whore? And if anything should have happened to your brother,will you be able to sneak for yourself the eminence of being a murderer, snot-nose?
