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
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
Pearl S. Buck
She had always been too wise to tell him all she thought and felt, knowing by some intuition of her own womanhood that no man wants to know everything of any woman.
Pearl S. Buck

Never, if you can possibly help it, write a novel. It is, in the first place, a thoroughly unsocial act. It makes one obnoxious to one's family and to one's friends. One sits about for many weeks, months, even years, in the worst cases, in a state of stupefaction.
Pearl S. Buck
I don't wait for moods - you'd never get anything done if you did.
Pearl S. Buck
Introversion, at least if extreme, is a sign of mental and spiritual immaturity.

Pearl S. Buck
Fatalism is a false premise. What will be is not necessarily what must be.
Pearl S. Buck

Pearl S. Buck
Once the 'what' is decided, the 'how' always follows. We must not make the 'how' an excuse for not facing and accepting the 'what.'
Pearl S. Buck
For no country is a true democracy whose women have not an equal share in life with men, and until we realize this we shall never achieve a real democracy on this earth.
Pearl S. Buck
War is the most devastating endemic and epidemic disease the human race has to endure, and yet too little has been done to discover and eliminate its cause by intelligent early control.
Pearl S. Buck
But what happens when her beauty is torn from her like a cover from a book? Will he care to read her then, although her pages speak of nothing but love for him?
Pearl S. Buck
you seem to grieve for what is not so ... and there is no need to let your heart run ahead into evils that may never come.
Pearl S. Buck
If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.
Pearl S. Buck
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
Pearl S. Buck
Only the brave should teach....Teaching is a vocation. It is as sacred as priesthood as innate a desire, as inescapable as the genius which compels a great artist. If he has not the concern for humanity, the love of living creatures, the vision of the priest and the artist, he must not teach.
Pearl S. Buck
