Jack London quotes

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


Darn the wheel of the world! Why must it continually turn over? Where is the reverse gear?


Jack London


I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.



Jack London


The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.


Jack London

There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. 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
