He was always striving to attain it. The life that was so swiftly expanding within him, urged him continually toward the wall of light. The life that was within him knew that it was the one way out, the way he was predestined to tread.

More quotes by Jack London
If cash comes with fame, come fame if cash comes without fame, come cash.
Jack London
Love is the sum of all the arts, as it is the reason for their existence.
Jack London
Age is never so old as youth would measure it.
Jack London
And not only did he learn by experience, but instincts long dead became alive again. The domesticated generations fell from him. In vague ways he remembered back to the youth of the breed, to the time the wild dogs ranged in packs through the primeval forest and killed their meat as they ran it down.
Jack London
My mistake was in ever opening the books.
Jack London
I did not begin when I was born, nor when I was conceived. I have been growing, developing, through incalculable myriads of millenniums... All my previous selves have their voices, echoes, promptings in me... Oh, incalculable times again shall I be born.
Jack London
Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past.
Jack London
The man, with his brain, can pierce the intoxicating mirage of things and contemplate a frozen universe in the most perfect indifference to him and his dreams.
Jack London
The greatest of the arts is the conquering of men.
Jack London
I love the flesh. I'm a pagan. Who are they who speak evil of the clay? The very stars are made of clay like mine!
Jack London
Too much is written by the men who can't write about the men who do write.
Jack London
The loneliness of the man is slowly being borne in upon me. There is not a man aboard but hates or fears him, nor is there a man whom he does not despise.
Jack London
There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.
Jack London
Man is a flux of states of consciousness, a flow of passing thoughts, each thought of self another self, a myriad thoughts, a myriad selves, a continual becoming but never being, a will-of-the-wisp flitting of ghosts in ghostland.
Jack London
The Stone the Builders Rejected.
Jack London
...in his gambling, he had one besetting weakness -- faith in a system and this made his damnation certain.
Jack London
I am first of all a white man, and only then a socialist.
Jack London
The ghostly winter silence had given way to the great spring murmur of awakening life.
Jack London
The fortunate man is the one who cannot take more than a couple of drinks without becoming intoxicated. The unfortunate wight is the one who can take many glasses without betraying a sign who must take numerous glasses in order to get the ‘kick’.
Jack London
Everything is good . . . as long as it is unpossessed. Satiety and possession are Death's horses they run in span.
Jack London
