More quotes by 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
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
One faces the future with one's past.
Pearl S. Buck

Love can never be a sin. It can be only a blessing. Even if you're not loved in return -- though I can't imagine that -- to love is a proof of life -- indeed, it's the only proof, for once you can't love another human being, you're not alive.
Pearl S. Buck
Science and religion, religion and science, put it as it may, they are the two sides of the same glass, through which we see darkly until these two focus together, reveal the truth.
Pearl S. Buck
the vicious result of privilege is that the creature who receives it becomes incapacitated by it as by a disease.
Pearl S. Buck
In this unbelievable universe in which we live, there are no absolutes. Even parallel lines, reaching into infinity, meet somewhere yonder.
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
