More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Prejudice ... is a subjective emotion which expresses itself upon others only because of an inner necessity for release. The object is irrelevant and opportune. The person who feels prejudice is the victim of himself and his own unhappiness and dissatisfaction. Life is not what he wants it to be and it has not been what he wishes it had been.

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
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
Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness.
