Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


One day, in camp by the Umpqua River, Billy bent over to begin
skinning the first deer he had ever shot. He raised his eyes to
Saxon and remarked:


"If I didn't know California, I guess Oregon'd suit me from the
ground up."


In the evening, replete with deer meat, resting on his elbow and
smoking his after-supper cigarette, he said:


"Maybe they ain't no valley of the moon. An' if they ain't, what
of it? We could keep on this way forever. I don't ask nothing
better."
