“A strange thing happened: the twenty families became one family, the children were the children of all. The loss of home became one loss, and the golden time in the West was one dream” -Steinbeck (193)

"At first the families were timid in the building and tumbling worlds, but gradually the technique of building worlds became their technique. Then leaders emerged, then laws were made, then codes came into being. And as the worlds moved westward they were more complete and better furnished, for their builders were more experienced in building them." -Steinbeck

"I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where -- where ever you look. Where ever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. If Casy knowed, why, I'll be in the way guys yell when the're mad an' --- I'll be in the way kids laugh when the're hungry an' they know supper's ready An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build -- why, I'll be there."
