John Steinbeck
“A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.”— John Steinbeck
Doc and his lab from John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row were based on Steinbeck’s dear friend Ed Rickett and Rickett’s business, Pacific Biological Laboratories (shown left). The lab still stands today and is a fixture on Cannery Row Avenue in Monterey, CA.

quote from john steinbeck’s “east of eden”
wonderful book, probably the best ive ever read. tons of inspiring quotes in there, but the most prominent theme of choice is best summed up here, in my opinion
never worked with coffee before, but i like how this came out as a first try! might try tea next hmm
In 1958, the author John Steinbeck sent his son Thom a letter in response to the boy’s announcement that he had fallen in love:
…I don’t think you were asking me what you feel. You know better than anyone. What you wanted me to help you with is what to do about it—and that I can tell you.
Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.
The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.
Great advice.Via: Letters of Note
