It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.' - John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
'The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.' - John Steinbeck, East of Eden
