Jack London
You stand on dead men's legs. You've never had any of your own. You couldn't walk alone between two sunrises and hustle the meat for your belly
Jack London
The Stone the Builders Rejected.
Jack London
The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.
Jack London
Socialism, when the last word is said, is merely a new economic and political system whereby more men can get food to eat.
Jack London

Jack London
