Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


She gazed at the sailors on the ships, wondered on what far
voyages and to what far lands they went, wondered what freedoms
were theirs. Or were they girt in by as remorseless and cruel a
world as the dwellers in Oakland were? Were they as unfair, as
unjust, as brutal, in their dealings with their fellows as were
the city dwellers? It did not seem so, and sometimes she wished
herself on board, out-bound, going anywhere, she cared not where,
so long as it was away from the world to which she had given her
best and which had trampled her in return.
