Pearl S. Buck
the heart never grows old.
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
An intelligent, energetic, educated woman cannot be kept in four walls - even satin-lined, diamond-studded walls - without discovering sooner or later that they are still a prison cell.
Pearl S. Buck
Love dies only when growth stops.
Pearl S. Buck
To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.
