More quotes by Jack London
This expression of abandon and surrender, of absolute trust, he reserved for the master alone.
Jack London
I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself.
Jack London
The Law is a lie, and through it men lie most shamelessly.
Jack London
I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate.
Jack London

Jack London
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
Jack London

Jack London
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
Jack London
Everything is good . . . as long as it is unpossessed. Satiety and possession are Death's horses they run in span.
Jack London
Men do not knowingly drink for the effect alcohol produces on the body. What they drink for is the brain-effect and if it must come through the body, so much the worse for the body.
Jack London
If a company is distributing images and video then obviously they need bandwidth solutions. But if they are looking to the mass market then they must develop WAP sites.
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
I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me.
Jack London
The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.
Jack London
His bondage had softened him. Irresponsibility had weakened him. He had forgotten how to shift for himself. The night yawned about him.
Jack London
