Oh, a treasure-trove of John Steinbeck, from a yellowing notebook from 1984. Steinbeck, all-time favorite, Steinbeck, who cannot grow old. Twenty-seven years have passed. And you can now see who all laid the foundation of who you are now.
"Men seem to be born with a debt they can never pay no matter how hard they try. It piles up ahead of them. Man owes something to man. If he ignores the debt it poisons him, and if he tries to make payments the debt only increases, and the quality of his gift is the measure of man."
