And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine.
— John Steinbeck (East of Eden)

Collins reads Steinbeck (by Greenman 2008)
During a break in the filming of Island in the Sun, Joan Collins reads a paperback copy of the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck.
Maybe we all have in us a secret pond where evil and ugly things germinate and grow strong. But this culture is fenced, and the swimming brood climbs up only to fall back. Might it not be that in the dark pools of some men the evil grows strong enough to wriggle over the fence and swim free? Would not such a man be our monster, and are we not related to him in our hidden water? It would be absurd if we did not understand both angels and devils, since we invented them.
— John Steinbeck, East of Eden (via liquidnight)
