More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
What the common man cannot understand he hates.
Pearl S. Buck
Men would rather be starving and free than fed in bonds.
Pearl S. Buck
We must have hope or starve to death.
Pearl S. Buck
The feeling one has after coming to know American women is that they are starving at their sources.
Pearl S. Buck
It is not healthy when a nation lives within a nation, as colored Americans are living inside America. A nation cannot live confident of its tomorrow if its refugees are among its own citizens.
Pearl S. Buck
There is, of course, a difference between what one seizes and what one really possesses.
Pearl S. Buck
We learn as much from sorrow as from joy, as much from illness as from health, from handicap as from advantage and indeed perhaps more.
Pearl S. Buck
Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
Pearl S. Buck
Men of action, whose minds are too busy with the day's work to see beyond it. They are essential men, we cannot do without them, and yet we must not allow all our vision to be bound by the limitations of men of action.
Pearl S. Buck
As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world.
Pearl S. Buck
If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.
Pearl S. Buck
men cannot be free in a nation where women are forbidden freedom.
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
Somehow I had learned from Thoreau, who doubtless learned it from Confucius, that if a man comes to do his own good for you, then must you flee that man and save yourself
Pearl S. Buck
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
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.
Pearl S. Buck
A hungry man can't see right or wrong. He just sees food.
Pearl S. Buck
Truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.
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
Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.
Pearl S. Buck
