Pearl S. Buck
Fatalism is a false premise. What will be is not necessarily what must be.
Pearl S. Buck
If there is no other life, then this one has been enough to make it worth being born myself...a human being.

Iowans know themselves and what they are doing. They are doing well.
Pearl S. Buck
Only people who are assured of daily food can concern themselves with matters of principle and ethic. A man will become a slave rather than starve.

Pearl S. Buck
Euthanasia is a long, smooth-sounding word, and it conceals its danger as long, smooth words do, but the danger is there, nevertheless.
Pearl S. Buck
