A Quote by John Steinbeck
Many are the stories I have heard about myself. I have mistresses I have never met. When I hear that I am a sodomist and a zoophalist then I shall know that I have reached the high point of fame, but I suppose I can hardly expect such exaltation for many years.

I have never worked for fame or praise, and shall not feel their loss as I otherwise would.
