'Man, unlike any other thing in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.'  -John Steinbeck


Today's quote comes from the great American author's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Grapes of Wrath, his 1939 work that one critic called Steinbeck's "first great book and his last great book." He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962, but in 1967 his reputation took a hit when he accepted a job from Newsday to go to Vietnam to cover the war. Many considered his sympathies toward the U.S. involvement as antithetical to his persona, but Steinbeck went at a time when his sons both served in the war.

In fact, in 1997 he directed a stage version of The Fearless Vampire Killers, a musical adaptation of his own 1967 film. The show ran successfully in parts of Austria, Germany and Hungary.
