Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck

His ear heard more than was said to him, and his slow speech had overtones not of thought, but of understanding beyond thought.
Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love.
You ain't worth a greased lack pin to ram you into hell.
Guy don't need no sense to be a nice fella. Seems to me sometimes it jus' works the other way around. Take a real smart guy and he ain't hardly ever a nice fella.
Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just in their head.
Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.
I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick.
Just like heaven. Ever'body wants a little piece of lan'. I read plenty of books out here. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It's just in their head. They're all the time talkin' about it, but it's jus' in their head.
