The most beautiful stories always start with wreckage.
Jack London
The greatest of the arts is the conquering of men.
Jack London

Jack London
Everything is good . . . as long as it is unpossessed. Satiety and possession are Death's horses they run in span.
Jack London
Don't loaf and invite inspiration light out after it with a club, and if you don't get it you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it.
Jack London
But, – and there it is, – we want to live and move, though we have no reason to, because it happens that it is the nature of life to live and move, to want to live and move. If it were not for this, life would be dead. It is because of this life that is in you that you dream of your immortality.
Jack London
Darn the wheel of the world! Why must it continually turn over? Where is the reverse gear?
Jack London
Man rarely places a proper valuation upon his womankind, at least not until deprived of them.
Jack London
