"They were firemakers! They were gods!" - Jack London, White Fang, Part 3, Chapter 1

"It was the worst hurt he had ever known." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 3, Chapter 1

"His bondage had softened him. Irresponsibility had weakened him. He had forgotten how to shift for himself. The night yawned about him." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 3, Chapter 4

"He became quicker of movement than the other dogs, swifter of foot, craftier, deadlier, more lithe, more lean with ironlike muscle and sinew, more enduring, more cruel more ferocious, and more intelligent. He had to become all these things, else he would not have held his own nor survived the hostile environment in which he found himself." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 3, Chapter 3

"Out of this pack-persecution he learned two important things: how to take care of himself in a mass-fight against him; and how, on a single dog, to inflict the greatest amount of damage in the briefest space of time." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 3, Chapter 3

"It was during this period that he might have hearkened to the memories of the lair and the stream and run back to the Wild. But the memory of his mother held him...So he remained in his bondage waiting for her." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 3, Chapter 2

"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, Part 3, Chapter 2

"In dim ways he recognized in man the animal that had fought itself to primacy over the other animals of the Wild. Not alone out of his own eyes, but out of the eyes of all his ancestors was the cub now looking upon man." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 3, Chapter 1

"The aim of life was meat. Life itself was meat. Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN. He did not formulate the law in clear, set terms and moralize about it. He did not even think the law; he merely lived the law without thinking about it at all." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 2, Chapter 5

"His conclusion was that things were not always what they appeared to be. The cub's fear of the unknown was an inherited distrust, and it had now been strengthened by experience. Thenceforth, in the nature of things, he would possess an abiding distrust of appearances." - Jack London, White Fang, Part 2, Chapter 4
