Jack London
“The way of life is wonderful; it is by abandonment.”
“I write for the same reason I breathe—because if I didn’t, I would die.”
“Show me a man with a tattoo and I’ll show you a man with an interesting past.”
“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.”
“Life is not always a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.”
“The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.”
“I would rather be ashes than dust!”
“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
