More quotes by 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.
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
The fortunate man is the one who cannot take more than a couple of drinks without becoming intoxicated. The unfortunate wight is the one who can take many glasses without betraying a sign who must take numerous glasses in order to get the ‘kick’.
Jack London
Not all the monsters have fangs.
Jack London
He became quicker of movement than the other dogs, swifter of foot, craftier, deadlier, more lithe, more lean with ironlike muscle and sinew, more enduring, more cruel more ferocious, and more intelligent. He had to become all these things, else he would not have held his own nor survived the hostile environment in which he found himself.
Jack London
The man, with his brain, can pierce the intoxicating mirage of things and contemplate a frozen universe in the most perfect indifference to him and his dreams.
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
The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.
Jack London
Ever bike? Now that's something that makes life worth living!
Jack London
The ghostly winter silence had given way to the great spring murmur of awakening life.
Jack London
I did not begin when I was born, nor when I was conceived. I have been growing, developing, through incalculable myriads of millenniums... All my previous selves have their voices, echoes, promptings in me... Oh, incalculable times again shall I be born.
Jack London
The Stone the Builders Rejected.
Jack London
Pray do not interrupt me, he wrote. I am smiling.
Jack London
A good joke will sell quicker than a good poem, and, measured in sweat and blood, will bring better remuneration.
Jack London
He was justifying his existence, than which life can do no greater for life achieves its summit when it does to the uttermost that which it was equipped to do.
Jack London
Alcohol tells truth, but its truth is not normal.
Jack London
She was thrilling to a desire that urged her to go forward, to be in closer to that fire, to be squabbling with the dogs, and to be avoiding and dodging the stumbling feet of men.
Jack London
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
Jack London
Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past.
Jack London
But under it all they were men, penetrating the land of desolation and mockery and silence, puny adventurers bent on colossal adventure, pitting themselves against the might of a world as remote and alien and pulseless as the abysses of space.
Jack London
