More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Now, five years is nothing in a man's life except when he is very young and very old... - Wang Lung
Pearl S. Buck
Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together.
Pearl S. Buck
If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.
Pearl S. Buck
A foreigner is a friend I have yet to meet.
Pearl S. Buck
The feeling one has after coming to know American women is that they are starving at their sources.
Pearl S. Buck
I do not believe there is any important difference between men and women - certainly not as much as they may be between one woman and another or one man and another.
Pearl S. Buck
Every event has had its cause, and nothing, not the least wind that blows, is accident or causeless.
Pearl S. Buck
There will be no real content among American women unless they are made and kept more ignorant or unless they are given equal opportunity with men to use what they have been taught. And American men will not be really happy until their women are.
Pearl S. Buck
doing and being are very closely tied together, and unless you are doing what you secretly want to do, you aren't able to be the sort of person you want to be.
Pearl S. Buck
If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.
Pearl S. Buck
The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Pearl S. Buck
The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between its men and its women.
Pearl S. Buck
God is not in the vastness of greatness. He is hid in the vastness of smallness . He is not in the general. He is in the particular.
Pearl S. Buck
Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself.
Pearl S. Buck
I am an inveterate homemaker, it is at once my pleasure, my recreation, and my handicap. Were I a man, my books would have been written in leisure, protected by a wife and a secretary and various household officials. As it is, being a woman, my work has had to be done between bouts of homemaking.
Pearl S. Buck
I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work.
Pearl S. Buck
A hungry man can't see right or wrong. He just sees food.
Pearl S. Buck
men cannot be free in a nation where women are forbidden freedom.
Pearl S. Buck
It is difficult not to wonder whether that combination of elements which produces a machine for labor does not create also a soul of sorts, a dull resentful metallic will, which can rebel at times.
Pearl S. Buck
Profound as race prejudice is against the Negro American, it is not practically as far-reaching as the prejudice against women. For stripping away the sentimentality which makes Mother's Day and Best American Mother Contests, the truth is that women suffer all the effects of a minority.
