Now, five years is nothing in a man's life except when he is very young and very old... - Wang Lung
Pearl S. Buck
I am always glad when any of my books can be put into an inexpensive edition, because I like to think that any people who might wish to read them can do so. Surely books ought to be within reach of everybody.
Pearl S. Buck
when the people of any country choose peace at all costs, not even generals can make war.
