Jack London Quotes

Jack London‘s To Build a Fire is one of my favorite short stories. It’s so bitter and even-handed. Of the Naturalist authors, Jack’s one of the best.

He’s got some interesting (and accurate) appraisals of life. I found some great quotes by him today, so check it out:

“I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself.”

“Life is not always a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well”

“Life achieves its summit when it does to the uttermost that which it was equipped to do.”

I haven’t gotten quotes up here in a bit, so I’m happy about that. Hope everyone’s doing well. I’m trying to squeeze the last lazy juice out of my spring break melon.

God Save the Books,
C. Harder
