More Quotes from John Steinbeck:
Maybe its like this, Max--you know how, when you are working on a long and ordered piece, all sorts of bright and lovely ideas and images intrude. They have no place in what you are writing, and so if you are young, you write them in a notebook for future use.

But when you get home, they are dry and colorless. Id like to pin down a few while they are still wet.John Steinbeck
