Communications must destroy localness, by a slow, inevitable process [...] Radio and television speech becomes standardized, perhaps better English than we have ever used. Just as our bread, mixed and baked, packaged and sold without benefit of accident of human frailty, is uniformly good and uniformly tasteless, so will our speech become one speech [...] What I am mourning is perhaps not worth saving, but I regret its loss nevertheless

John Steinbeck"Има хора, които ядат, и хора, които биват изяждани.
Ето едно добро правило за начало.
Дали тези, които ядат, са по-нормални от изяжданите?
Накрая всички биват изядени…всички…
дори най – жестоките и най – хитрите
биват погълнати от земята."-
Джон Стайнбек, "Зимата на нашето недоволство
Ah!' said Lee. 'I’ve wanted to tell you this for a long time. I even anticipated your questions and I am well prepared. Any writing which has influenced the thinking and the lives of innumerable people is important. Now, there are many millions in their sects and churches who feel the order, ‘Do thou,’ and throw their weight into obedience. And there are millions more who feel predestination in ‘Thou shalt.’ Nothing they may do can interfere with what will be. But ‘Thou mayest’! Why, that makes a man great, that gives him stature with the gods, for in his weakness and his filth and his murder of his brother he has still the great choice. He can choose his course and fight it through and win.
John SteinbeckВинаги ми се е виждало странно… — поде Док. — Качествата, които ценим у човека — доброта и щедрост, откритост, честност, разбиране и чувство, — всички те съпътствуват неудачите в нашата система. А ония черти, които презираме — нетърпимостта, алчността лакомията, низостта, егоизма, — те са пътят към успеха. И макар хората да се възхищават от стойността на първите, те всъщност обичат плодовете на последните.
— Че кой ще ти иска да бъде добър, ако за това трябва да гладува! — подхвърли Ричард Фрост.
— Но тук не става дума за глад! То е нещо съвършено различно. Да продаваш човешките души, за да спечелиш света, е нещо от край до край доброволно и едва ли не повсеместно… но не съвсем. Такива като Мак и момчетата има навсякъде по света.
