  1. "And, as with all retold tales that are in people's hearts, there are only good and bad things and black and white things and good and evil things and no in-between. If this story is a parable, perhaps everyone takes his own meaning from it and reads his own life into it."

    - John Steinbeck, The Pearl, Prologue

    "Sometimes it rose to an aching chord that caught the throat, saying this is safety, this is warmth, this is the Whole."

    - John Steinbeck, The Pearl, Chapter 1

    # "But the pearls were accidents, and the finding of one was luck, a little pat on the back by God or the gods both."

    - John Steinbeck, The Pearl, Chapter 2

    # "there were more illusions than realities."

    - John Steinbeck, The Pearl, Chapter 2

    "A plan is a real thing, and things projected are experienced.A plan once made and visualized becomes a reality along with other realities--never to be destroyed but easily to be attacked."

    - John Steinbeck, The Pearl, Chapter 3

    # "For his dream of the future was real and never to be destroyed, and he had said, 'I will go,' and that made a real thing too. To determine to go and to say it was to be halfway there."

    - John Steinbeck, The Pearl, Chapter 4

    # "This pearl has become my soul... If I give it up, I shall lose my soul."

    - John Steinbeck, The Pearl, Chapter 5

    "An accident could happen to these oysters, a grain of sand could lie in the folds of muscle and irritate the flesh until in self-protection the flesh coated the foreign body until it fell free in some tidal flurry or until the oyster was destroyed."

    and many more.
