More quotes by 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 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
Love is the sum of all the arts, as it is the reason for their existence.
Jack London
Too much is written by the men who can't write about the men who do write.
Jack London
I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself.
Jack London

more you drink more you want
Jack London
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
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
So that was the way. No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.
Jack London
I am first of all a white man, and only then a socialist.
Jack London
Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past.
Jack London
The greatest of the arts is the conquering of men.
Jack London
Alcohol tells truth, but its truth is not normal.
Jack London
...in his gambling, he had one besetting weakness -- faith in a system and this made his damnation certain.
Jack London
