杰克、伦敦最经典的一句名言是什么?

Answer 1

杰克·伦敦的信条
杰克·伦敦的遗稿保管人,Irving Shepard（欧文·谢帕德）在介绍1956年出版的伦敦小说集时引用了“杰克·伦敦的信条”：
我宁愿是燃烧过后的灰烬也不愿为地上的灰尘!
我宁愿让点点星火猛烈燃烧殆尽也不愿任其干腐.
我宁愿做一闪而过的流星,让每一点碎片都擦出火光,也不愿做死寂的恒星.
人的职责是生活,而不是存在.
我不会浪费时间试图延长寿命.
但,我会用尽生命中的每一秒.
Jack London Credo
London's literary executor,Irving Shepard,quoted a "Jack London Credo" in an introduction to a 1956 collection of London stories:
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 function of man is to live,not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
