Jack London Quote: “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 Quote: “The human race is doomed to sink back farther and farther into the primitive night ere again it begins its bloody climb upward to civilization.”
Jack London Quote: “The loneliness of the man is slowly being borne in upon me. There is not a man aboard but hates or fears him, nor is there a man whom he does not despise.”
Jack London Quote: “There is a patience of the wild – dogged, tireless, persistent as life itself.”
Jack London Quote: “Somehow, the love of the islands, like the love of a woman, just happens. One cannot determine in advance to love a particular woman, nor can one so determine to love Hawaii.”
Jack London Quote: “A good joke will sell quicker than a good poem, and, measured in sweat and blood, will bring better remuneration.”
Jack London Quote: “There is a patience of the wild – dogged, tireless, persistent as life itself – that holds motionless for endless hours the spider in its web, the snake in its coils, the panther in its ambuscade; this patience belongs peculiarly to life when it hunts its living food;.”
Jack London Quote: “And then there were our sweet stolen moments in the midst of our work – just a word, or caress, or flash of love-light; and our moments were sweeter for being stolen. For we lived on the heights, where the air was keen and sparkling, where the toil was for humanity, and where sordidness and selfishness never entered. We loved love, and our love was never smirched by anything less than the best. And this out of all remains: I did not fail.”
Jack London Quote: “The aim of life was meat. Life itself was meat. Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten.”
Jack London Quote: “Men do not knowingly drink for the effect alcohol produces on the body. What they drink for is the brain-effect; and if it must come through the body, so much the worse for the body.”
Jack London Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “If cash comes with fame, come fame; if cash comes without fame, come cash.”
Jack London Quote: “He linked the past with the present, and the eternity behind him throbbed through him in a mighty rhythm to which he swayed as the tides and seasons swayed.”
Jack London Quote: “Cruelty, as a fine art, has attained its perfect flower in the trained-animal world.”
Jack London Quote: “No, sir. Go to hell sir. It’s the best I can do for you sir.”
Jack London Quote: “It’s colder than the hinges of hell a thousand years before the first fire was lighted.”
Jack London Quote: “It was heartbreaking, only Buck’s heart was unbreakable.”
Jack London Quote: “Love, genuine passionate love, was his for the first time. This he had never experienced at Judge Miller’s down in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. With the Judge’s sons, hunting and tramping, it had been a working partnership; with the Judge’s grandsons, a sort of pompous guardianship; and with the Judge himself, a stately and dignified friendship. But love that was feverish and burning, that was adoration, that was madness, it had taken John Thornton to arouse.”
Jack London Quote: “Weedon Scott had set himself the task of redeeming White Fang – or rather, of redeeming mankind from the wrong it had done White Fang.”
Jack London Quote: “All was confusion and action, and every moment life and limb were in peril. There was imperative need to be constantly alert; for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They were savages, all of them, who knew no law but the law of club and fang.”
Jack London Quote: “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 Quote: “And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.”
Jack London Quote: “Too much is written by the men who can’t write about the men who do write.”
Jack London Quote: “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 Quote: “He was not immoral, but merely unmoral.”
Jack London Quote: “The clay of White Fang had been molded until he became what he was, morose and lonely, unloving and ferocious, the enemy of all his kind.”
Jack London Quote: “Why didn’t you dare it before?” he asked harshly. “When I hadn’t a job? When I was starving? When I was just as I am now, as a man, as an artist, the same Martin Eden?”
Jack London Quote: “Nietzsche was right. I won’t take the time to tell you who Nietzsche was, but he was right. The world belongs to the strong – to the strong who are noble as well and who do not wallow in the swine-trough of trade and exchange. The world belongs to the true nobleman, to the great blond beasts, to the noncompromisers, to the ’yes-sayers.”
Jack London Quote: “And when, on the still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolflike, it was his ancestors, dead and dust, pointing nose at star and howling down through the centuries and through him.”
Jack London Quote: “The aim of life was meat. Life itself was meat. Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN. He did not formulate the law in clear, set terms and moralize about it. He did not even think the law; he merely lived the law without thinking about it at all.”
Jack London Quote: “Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.”
Jack London Quote: “Thus it was that in obedience to the law laid down by his mother, and in obedience to the law of that unknown and nameless thing, fear, he kept away from the mouth of the cave.”
Jack London Quote: “The facts of life took on a fiercer aspect; and while he faced that aspect uncowed, he faced it with all the latent cunning of his nature aroused.”
Jack London Quote: “He had killed man, the noblest game of all, and he had killed in the face of the law of club and fang.”
Jack London Quote: “With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long-drawn wailings and half-sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence. It was an old song, old as the breed itself – one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad.”
Jack London Quote: “I was five years old the first time I got drunk.”
Jack London Quote: “Growth is life, and life is for ever destined to make for light.”
Jack London Quote: “Having no new companions, nothing remained for him but to read.”
Jack London Quote: “What is not good enough for you is not good enough for other men, and there’s no more to be said.”
Jack London Quote: “He knew he was at last answering the call, running by the side of his wood brother toward the place from where the call surely came. Old memories were coming upon him fast, and he was stirring to them as of old he stirred to the realities of which they were the shadows. He had done this thing before, somewhere in that other and dimly remembered world, and he was doing it again now, running free in the open, the unpacked earth underfoot, the wide sky overhead.”
Jack London Quote: “It was idle, he knew, to get between a fool and his folly; while two or three fools more or less would not alter the scheme of things.”
Jack London Quote: “He couldn’t fake being their kind. The masquerade would fail, and besides, masquerade was foreign to his nature. There was no room in him for sham or artifice. Whatever happened, he must be real. He.”
Jack London Quote: “It certainly was cold, was his thought. That man from Sulphur Creek had spoken the truth when telling how cold it sometimes got in the country. And he had laughed at him at the time! That showed one must not be too sure of things. There was no mistake about it, it was cold.”
Jack London Quote: “But he is not always alone. When the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, he may be seen running at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his fellows, his great throat a-bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.”
Jack London Quote: “Then one can’t make a living out of poetry? Certainly not. What fool expects to? Out of rhyming, yes.”
Jack London Quote: “It is good that man should accept at face value the cheats of sense and snares of flesh, and through the fogs of sentiency pursue the lures and lies of passion.”
Jack London Quote: “He had learned well the law of club and fang, and he never forewent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to Death. He had lessoned from Spitz, and from the chief fighting dogs of the police and mail, and knew there was no middle course. He must master or be mastered; while to show mercy was a weakness. mercy did not exist in the primordial life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstandings made for death. Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of Time, he obeyed.”
Jack London Quote: “For Beauty Smith was cruel in the way that cowards are cruel. Cringing and snivelling himself before the blows or angry speech of a man, he revenged himself, in turn, upon creatures weaker than he.”
Jack London Quote: “Again and again, as he looked at each brutal performance, the lesson was driven home to Buck: a man with a club was a lawgiver, a master to be obeyed, though not necessarily conciliated.”
