Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London

"It's what I wanted, Saxon, more'n anything else in the world.

tears unmistakable in his eyes. "But after all I'd done, an' the
hell I'd raised, an' everything, I . . . I never urged you, or
said a word about it. But I wanted it . . . oh, I wanted it like
. . . like I want you now."
