More quotes by Jack London

Jack London
In a saturated population life is always cheap.
Jack London
As one grows weaker one is less susceptible to suffering. There is less hurt because there is less to hurt.
Jack London
This expression of abandon and surrender, of absolute trust, he reserved for the master alone.
Jack London
He was not immoral, but merely unmoral.
Jack London
Denied the outlet, through play, of his energies, he recoiled upon himself and developed his mental processes. He became cunning he had idle time in which to devote himself to thoughts of trickery.
Jack London
They were not half living, or quarter living. They were simply so many bags of bones in which sparks of life fluttered faintly.
