And here at the end of my days, reviewing all that I have known of life, I am compelled to the conclusion that strong minds are never docile.

Jack London

The hand descended. Nearer and nearer it came. It touched the ends of his upstanding hair. He shrank down under it. It followed down after him, pressing more closely against him. Shrinking, almost shivering. He still managed to hold himself together. It was a torment, this hand that touched him and violated his instinct. He could not forget in a day all the evil that had been wrought him at the hands of men. Jack London
The bubbly play of wit, the chesty laughs, the resonant voices of men when glass in hand they shut the grey world outside and prod their brains with the fun and folly of an accelerated pulse. Jack London
Jack London quote: "Wolf - tis what he is. He's not blackhearted like some men...."
Wolf - tis what he is. He's not blackhearted like some men. 'Tis no heart he has at all. Jack London
