Additional quotes by Jack London

Buck found it to be cheaper to mend his ways than to retaliate.

To have a full stomach, to daze lazily in the sunshine — such things were remuneration in full for his adors and toils, while his ardors and toils were in themselves self-remunerative. They were expressions of life, and life is always happy when it is expressing itself.

So that was the way. No fair play. Once down, that was the end of you.

He was a man without a past, whose future was the imminent grave and whose present was a bitter fever of living. - Jack London
