More quotes by Jack London
I would rather be ashes than dust.
Jack London

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
Life is so short. I would rather sing one song than interpret the thousand.
Jack London

Jack London

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
If cash comes with fame, come fame if cash comes without fame, come cash.
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
He was always striving to attain it. The life that was so swiftly expanding within him, urged him continually toward the wall of light. The life that was within him knew that it was the one way out, the way he was predestined to tread.
Jack London
The most beautiful stories always start with wreckage.
Jack London
Darn the wheel of the world! Why must it continually turn over? Where is the reverse gear?
Jack London
Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.
Jack London
In a saturated population life is always cheap.
Jack London
The human race is doomed to sink back farther and farther into the primitive night ere again it begins its bloody climb upward to civilization.
Jack London
