John Steinbeck
- East of Eden, Chapter 30
Why not? I have always disliked deception. Your course is drawn. What you will do is written-written in every breath you've ever taken. I'll speak any way I want to. I'm crotchety. I feel sand under my skin. I'm looking forward to the ugly smell of old books and the sweet smell of good thinking. Faced with two sets of morals, you'll follow your training. What you call thinking won't change it. The fact that your wife is a whore in Salinas won't change a thing.
