Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


Yes, man is strangely and wonderfully made. Now that I coolly
consider the matter, I realize that it was essentially the same
spirit with which I enjoyed beating up Tom Spink, that I have in the
past enjoyed contests of the mind in which I have out-epigrammed
clever opponents. In the one case, one proves himself top-dog of the
mind; in the other, top-dog of the muscle. Whistler and Wilde were
just as much intellectual bullies as I was a physical bully yesterday
morning when I punched Tom Spink into lying down and staying down.
