Jack London
Then one can't make a living out of poetry? Certainly not. What fool expects to? Out of rhyming, yes.
Jack London
The ghostly winter silence had given way to the great spring murmur of awakening life.
Jack London
I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself.
Jack London
Too much is written by the men who can't write about the men who do write.
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.
