More quotes by Jack London
He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars.
Jack London
In a saturated population life is always cheap.
Jack London
Age is never so old as youth would measure it.
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.
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
I am first of all a white man, and only then a socialist.
Jack London

Jack London
But under it all they were men, penetrating the land of desolation and mockery and silence, puny adventurers bent on colossal adventure, pitting themselves against the might of a world as remote and alien and pulseless as the abysses of space.
Jack London

Jack London
I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.
Jack London
So that was the way. No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.
Jack London
I'll have you know I do the swearing on this ship. If I need your assitance I'll call you. Capt. Wolf Larsen
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
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
Man is man because he chanced to develop intelligence instead of instinct otherwise he would to this day have remained among the anthropoid apes. He has turned away from nature, become unnatural, as it were, disliked the earth upon which he found himself, and changed the face of it somewhat to his liking.
Jack London
Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.
Jack London
Denied the outlet, through play, of his energies, he recoiled upon himself and developed his mental processes. He became cunning he had idle time in which to devote himself to thoughts of trickery.
Jack London
I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me.
Jack London
This expression of abandon and surrender, of absolute trust, he reserved for the master alone.
Jack London
