Pearl S. Buck
God is not in the vastness of greatness. He is hid in the vastness of smallness . He is not in the general. He is in the particular.
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
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
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
I do not believe there is any important difference between men and women - certainly not as much as they may be between one woman and another or one man and another.
Pearl S. Buck
Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.
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
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.
Pearl S. Buck
Truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.
Pearl S. Buck
If I have learned anything in my long life it is to be grateful for every occasion when I followed my sympathies and avoided my antipathies.
Pearl S. Buck
I am comforted by life's stability, by earth's unchangeableness. What has seemed new and frightening assumes its place in the unfolding of knowledge. It is good to know our universe. What is new is only new to us.
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
It is not healthy when a nation lives within a nation, as colored Americans are living inside America. A nation cannot live confident of its tomorrow if its refugees are among its own citizens.
Pearl S. Buck
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
Men would rather be starving and free than fed in bonds.
Pearl S. Buck
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.
Pearl S. Buck
From that house there has come so much life that it ought never to die or fall into ruin... For me that house was a gateway to America.
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
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
