More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
It is better to be first with an ugly woman than the hundreth with a beauty.
Pearl S. Buck
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
Pearl S. Buck
Nothing is menial where there is love.
Pearl S. Buck
There is, of course, a difference between what one seizes and what one really possesses.
Pearl S. Buck
In a democracy such as ours the leading minds seldom achieve a place of permanent influence. And the men who sit in Congress or even in the White House are usually not our leading minds. They are not the thinkers. Still less have they time for reflection.
Pearl S. Buck
Love can never be a sin. It can be only a blessing. Even if you're not loved in return -- though I can't imagine that -- to love is a proof of life -- indeed, it's the only proof, for once you can't love another human being, you're not alive.
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

Pearl S. Buck
The rich are always afraid.
Pearl S. Buck
No daughter is ever her mother's darling. That spot is always reserved for the son.
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
He was part of a whole, a people scattered over the earth and yet eternally one and indivisible. Wherever a Jew lived, in whatever safety and isolation, he still belonged to his people.
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
There will never cease to be ferment in the world unless people are sure of their food.
Pearl S. Buck
When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail.
Pearl S. Buck
A foreigner is a friend I have yet to meet.
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
At heart a truly modest man, he had nevertheless the modest man's pride in his modesty in the face of achievement.
Pearl S. Buck
