Famous quotes by nunnally johnson:
“Scared, huh. I aint never gonna be scared no more. I was though. For a while it looked as though we was beat, good and beat. Looked like we didnt have nobody in the whole wide world but enemies. Like nobody was friendly no more. Made me feel kind a bad and scared too. Like we was lost and nobody cared.”
—Nunnally Johnson (18971977)
“Well, Pa, a woman can change better than a man. A man lives, sort of, well, in jerks. A babys born or somebody dies and thats a jerk. He gets a farm or loses it and thats a jerk. With a woman, its all in one flow, like a stream. Little eddies and waterfalls, but the river, it goes right on. A woman looks at it that way.”
—Nunnally Johnson (18971977)
“Wherever theres a fight so hungry people can eat, Ill be there. Wherever theres a cop beating up a guy, Ill be there. Ill be in the way guys yell when theyre mad. Ill be in the way kids laugh when theyre hungry and they know suppers ready. And when the people eat the stuff they raise, and living in the houses they build, Ill be there, too.”
—Nunnally Johnson (18971977)
“Al: Aint you gonna look back, Ma? Give the old place a last look?
Ma Joad: Were goin to California, aint we? Alright then, lets go to California.
Al: That dont sound like you, Ma. You never was like that before.
Ma Joad: I never had my house pushed over before. Never had my family stuck out on the road. I never had to lose everything I had in life.”
