More quotes by Jack London
If cash comes with fame, come fame if cash comes without fame, come cash.
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
There is such a thing as anaesthesia of pain, engendered by pain too exquisite to be borne.
Jack London
I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me.
Jack London
The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.
Jack London
The ghostly winter silence had given way to the great spring murmur of awakening life.
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
The Law is a lie, and through it men lie most shamelessly.
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
I would rather be ashes than dust.
Jack London
And not only did he learn by experience, but instincts long dead became alive again. The domesticated generations fell from him. In vague ways he remembered back to the youth of the breed, to the time the wild dogs ranged in packs through the primeval forest and killed their meat as they ran it down.
Jack London
Man rarely places a proper valuation upon his womankind, at least not until deprived of them.
Jack London
He was a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strong survive.
Jack London
Then one can't make a living out of poetry? Certainly not. What fool expects to? Out of rhyming, yes.
Jack London
A man with a club is a law-maker.
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
Of her own experience she had no memory of the thing happening but in her instinct, which was the experience of all mothers of wolves, there lurked a memory of fathers that had eaten their new-born and helpless progeny.
Jack London
Mental or spiritual health, which is rationality, makes for progress, and the future demands greater and greater mental or spiritual health, greater and greater rationality. The brain must dominate and direct both the individual and society in the time to come, not the belly and the heart.
Jack London
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
Jack London
It is so much easier to live placidly and complacently. Of course, to live placidly and complacently is not to live at all.
Jack London
