Just finished Jack London's "Call of the wild". It's the first book I read from him and what can I say? I'm a fan! Really inspireing... Here are again some of my favourite quotes:
"Mercy did not exist in the promordial life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstandings made for death. Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of time, he obeyed."
"But especially he love to run in the dim twilight of the summer midnights, listening to the subdued and sleepy murmurs of the forest, reading signs and sound as man may read a book, and seeking for the mysterious something that called - called, waking or sleeping, at all times, for him to come."
"He was a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strong survived."
