The Stone the Builders Rejected.
Jack London
I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate.

Jack London
I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself.

The Law is a lie, and through it men lie most shamelessly.

Jack London
So that was the way. No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.
Jack London
Age is never so old as youth would measure it.
Jack London
I'll have you know I do the swearing on this ship. If I need your assitance I'll call you. Capt. Wolf Larsen
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
