• [Cannery Row's] inhabitants are, as the man once said, 'whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches,' by which he meant everybody. Had the man looked through another peephole he might have said, 'saints and angels and martyrs and holy men,' and he would have meant the same thing.

• Vivía en Monterey, un lugar al que los fotógrafos clásicos -los Weston, Wynn Bullock y Ansel Adams- acudían para disfrutar de una vista privilegiada de la naturaleza. Pero mi vida cotidiana rara vez me llevaba a Point Lobos o a Yosemite; me llevaba a los centros comerciales, y a las gasolineras y a todos los demás crecimientos insalubres que florecían junto a la autopista. Era un paisaje que a nadie más le interesaba contemplar. Aparte de mí.
