Jack London
There's only one way to make a beginning, and that is to begin and begin with hard work, and patience, prepared for all the disappointment s.
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
