Pearl S. Buck
There will be no real content among American women unless they are made and kept more ignorant or unless they are given equal opportunity with men to use what they have been taught. And American men will not be really happy until their women are.
Pearl S. Buck
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in human beings.
Pearl S. Buck
Be born anywhere, little embryo novelist, but do not be born under the shadow of a great creed, not under the burden of original sin, not under the doom of Salvation.
Pearl S. Buck
Now, five years is nothing in a man's life except when he is very young and very old... - Wang Lung
Pearl S. Buck
