More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Exclusion is always dangerous. Inclusion is the only safety if we are to have a peaceful world.
Pearl S. Buck
People don't care to read what they already think or what any people think - they know all that well enough. They want to know what they ought to think.
Pearl S. Buck
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible - and achieve it, generation after generation.
Pearl S. Buck
Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.
Pearl S. Buck
to know how to read is to light a lamp in the mind, to release the soul from prison, to open a gate to the universe. from Pavilion of Women page 292
Pearl S. Buck
Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.
Pearl S. Buck
If you start to revise before you've reached the end, you're likely to begin dawdling with the revisions and putting off the difficult task of writing.
Pearl S. Buck
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
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
It is ironical that in an age when we have prided ourselves on our progress in the intelligent care and teaching of children we have at the same time put them at the mercy of new and most terrible weapons of destruction.
Pearl S. Buck
Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on.
Pearl S. Buck
There will never cease to be ferment in the world unless people are sure of their food.
Pearl S. Buck
Our bodies can be mobilized by law and police and men with guns, if necessary-but where shall we find that which will make us believe in what we must do, so that we can fight through to victory?
Pearl S. Buck
Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
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
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
Pearl S. Buck
It is worse than folly... not to recognize the truth, for in it lies the tinder for tomorrow.
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
The body was so little a part of him that its final stillness seemed nothing of importance. He was half out of it anyway and death was only a slipping out of it altogether and being at last what he always was, a spirit. We buried the pearly shell upon the mountain top.
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
