Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London

genuine curiosity; for she felt drawn to this boy in knee pants
who was so confident and at the same time so wistful.


"What do I want?" he repeated after her.


Turning his head slowly, he followed the sky-line, pausing
especially when his eyes rested landward on the brown Contra
Costa hills, and seaward, past Alcatraz, on the Golden Glate. The
wistfulness in his eyes was overwhelming and went to her heart.
