Lewis Carroll
“Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Jack London
“Of course it was beautiful; but there was something more than beauty in it, something more stingingly splendid which had made beauty its handmaiden.”
Jack London, Martin Eden

Jack London
“He was disappointed in it all. He had developed into an alien. As the steam beer had tasted raw, so their companionship seemed raw to him. He was too far removed. Too many thousands of opened books yawned between them and him. He had exiled himself. He had travelled in the vast realm of intellect until he could no longer return home. On the other hand, he was human, and his gregarious need for companionship remained unsatisfied. He had found no new home.”
Jack London, Martin Eden

Jack London
“Their highest concept of right conduct, in his case, was to get a job. That was their first word and their last. It constituted their whole lexicon of ideas. Get a job! Go to work!

A job was to them a golden fetich before which they fell down and worshipped.”
Jack London, Martin Eden

The world belongs to the true nobleman, to the great blond beasts, to the noncompromisers, to the 'yes-sayers.”
Jack London, Martin Eden
