Quotes by Jackson J. Benson (?)

“Wallace Stegner was a man who lived under the obligation of trying his best to be a 鈥済ood man,鈥� and his writing was part and parcel of that effort. For him, the individual, insofar as his or her capabilities allow, must not only take charge of his or her own destiny, but take on the responsibility of contributing to the welfare of others in family, community and society.”
― Jackson J. Benson, Wallace Stegner: His Life and Work

“鈥� his growing concern with the immorality of our time, the decay of such values as loyalty, courtesy, courage and honor.

鈥淚mmorality is what is destroying us, public immorality. The failure of man toward men, the selfishness that puts making a buck more important than the common weal.”
― Jackson J. Benson, The True Adventures of John Steinbeck, Writer
