Life cannot be cut off quickly. One cannot be dead until the things he changed are dead. His effect is the only evidence of his life. While there remains even a plaintive memory, a person cannot be cut off, dead. And he thought, โItโs a long slow process for a human to die. We kill a cow, and it is dead as soon as the meat is eaten, but a manโs life dies as a commotion in a still pool dies, in little waves, spreading and growing back toward stillness.
John SteinbeckA kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid any more.
John SteinbeckWhen a man says he does not want to speak of something he usually means he can think of nothing else.
