More quotes by Jack London

Image
No I did not hate him. The word is too weak. There is no word in the language strong enough to describe my feelings. I can say only that I knew the gnawing of a desire for vengeance on him that was a pain in itself and that exceeded all the bounds of language.

Image
Love is the sum of all the arts, as it is the reason for their existence.
Jack London
Image
Love cannot in its very nature be peaceful or content. It is a restlessness, an unsatisfaction. I can grant a lasting love just as I can grant a lasting unsatisfaction but the lasting love cannot be coupled with possession, for love is pain and desire and possession is easement and fulfilment.

Jack London
Image
...in his gambling, he had one besetting weakness -- faith in a system and this made his damnation certain.
Jack London
Image
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
Image
The most beautiful stories always start with wreckage.
Jack London
Image
I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself.
Jack London
Image
This expression of abandon and surrender, of absolute trust, he reserved for the master alone.
Jack London
Image
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
Image
As one grows weaker one is less susceptible to suffering. There is less hurt because there is less to hurt.
Jack London

A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.

A man with a club is a law-maker.

...men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost.

It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild. (Ch.1)
