Jack London
Age is never so old as youth would measure it.
Jack London
If cash comes with fame, come fame if cash comes without fame, come cash.
Jack London

Jack London
It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild. (Ch.1)
Jack London
