“They were his environment, these men, and they were moulding the clay of him into a more ferocious thing than had been intended by Nature. Nevertheless, Nature had given him plasticity. Where many another animal would have died or had its spirit broken, he adjusted himself and lived, and at no expense of the spirit.”
― Jack London, White Fang

“The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.”
― Jack London, White Fang

“But it did not all happen in a day, this giving over of himself, body and soul, to the man-animals. He could not immediately forego his wild heritage and his memories of the Wild. There were days when he crept to the edge of the forest and stood and listened to something calling him far and away.”
― Jack London, White Fang

“It's bittersweet, to be so present when so many people I care about are absent... But that is how we beat death. We beat death by living while we are here. Death may be infinite, but, as we know, infinity is a relative concept. We can create a bigger infinity out of life. By feeling... and it makes me want to carry on helping to protect and cherish every natural thing.”
― Matt Haig, The Life Impossible
