More quotes by Jack London
Darn the wheel of the world! Why must it continually turn over? Where is the reverse gear?
Jack London
The great task demanded of man is reproduction. He is urged by passion to perform this task. Passion, working through the imagination, produces love. Passion is the impelling factor, imagination the disturbing factor and the disturbance of passion by imagination produces love.
Jack London
The ghostly winter silence had given way to the great spring murmur of awakening life.
Jack London
The greatest of the arts is the conquering of men.
Jack London
This expression of abandon and surrender, of absolute trust, he reserved for the master alone.
Jack London
Ever bike? Now that's something that makes life worth living!
Jack London
I would rather be ashes than dust.
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
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

Jack London
For the pride of trace and trail was his, and sick unto death, he could not bear that another dog should do his work.
Jack London
I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me.
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
The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.
Jack London
Man rarely places a proper valuation upon his womankind, at least not until deprived of them.
Jack London
I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself.
Jack London
On the sled, in the box, lay a third man whose toil was over, - a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down until he would never move nor struggle again. It is not the way of the Wild to like movement. Life is an offense to it, for life is movement and the Wild aims always to destroy movement.
Jack London
Socialism, when the last word is said, is merely a new economic and political system whereby more men can get food to eat.
Jack London
Age is never so old as youth would measure it.
Jack London
So that was the way. No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.
Jack London
