Jack LondonJack London (John Griffith London) is known for Call of the Wild and "White Fang." He was an adventurer and sailor, who based many of his novels on his real-life adventures.

Jack London once wrote: "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Read more quotes from Jack London. Also, find quotes from The Call of the Wild.
