More quotes by Jack London
Everything is good . . . as long as it is unpossessed. Satiety and possession are Death's horses they run in span.
Jack London
His conclusion was that things were not always what they appeared to be. The cub's fear of the unknown was an inherited distrust, and it had now been strengthened by experience. Thenceforth, in the nature of things, he would possess an abiding distrust of appearances.
Jack London
He felt strangely numb. As though from a great distance, he was aware that he was being beaten. The last sensations of pain left him. He no longer felt anything, though very faintly he could hear the impact of the club upon his body. But it was no longer his body, it seemed so far away.
Jack London
Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past.
Jack London
If a company is distributing images and video then obviously they need bandwidth solutions. But if they are looking to the mass market then they must develop WAP sites.
Jack London
Then one can't make a living out of poetry? Certainly not. What fool expects to? Out of rhyming, yes.
Jack London

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
On the sled, in the box, lay a third man whose toil was over, - a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down until he would never move nor struggle again. It is not the way of the Wild to like movement. Life is an offense to it, for life is movement and the Wild aims always to destroy movement.
Jack London
He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars.
Jack London
I would rather be ashes than dust.
Jack London
A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.
Jack London
The greatest of the arts is the conquering of men.
Jack London
Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.
Jack London
Love, genuine passionate love, was his for the first time.
Jack London
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
Jack London
Age is never so old as youth would measure it.
Jack London
Love is the sum of all the arts, as it is the reason for their existence.
Jack London
So that was the way. No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.
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 disappointÂment s.
