Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


Gluck entered San Quentin prison on April 17, 1929. He was then
thirty-four years of age. And for three years and a half, much of
the time in solitary confinement, he was left to meditate upon the
injustice of man. It was during that period that his bitterness
corroded home and he became a hater of all his kind. Three other
things he did during the same period: he wrote his famous
treatise, Human Morals, his remarkable brochure, The Criminal Sane,
and he worked out his awful and monstrous scheme of revenge. It
was an episode that had occurred in his electroplating
establishment that suggested to him his unique weapon of revenge.
As stated in his confession, he worked every detail out
theoretically during his imprisonment, and was able, on his
release, immediately to embark on his career of vengeance.
