Pearl S. Buck
The main barrier between East and West today is that the white man is not willing to give up his superiority and the colored man is no longer willing to endure his inferiority.
Pearl S. Buck
One faces the future with one's past.
Pearl S. Buck
It certainly must have been a relief for women of the country to realize that one could be a woman and a lady and yet be thoroughly political.
Pearl S. Buck
Upon the profound discontent of the young in every country do I set my faith. I beg you, the young, to be discontented. I pray that you may rebel against what is wrong, not with feeble negative complaining but with strong positive assertion of what is right for all humanity.
Pearl S. Buck
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
Pearl S. Buck
