More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
men cannot be free in a nation where women are forbidden freedom.
Pearl S. Buck
The feeling one has after coming to know American women is that they are starving at their sources.
Pearl S. Buck
It is difficult not to wonder whether that combination of elements which produces a machine for labor does not create also a soul of sorts, a dull resentful metallic will, which can rebel at times.
Pearl S. Buck
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in human beings.
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
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
doing and being are very closely tied together, and unless you are doing what you secretly want to do, you aren't able to be the sort of person you want to be.
Pearl S. Buck

Pearl S. Buck
Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.
Pearl S. Buck
Nothing is menial where there is love.
Pearl S. Buck
Only the brave should teach....Teaching is a vocation. It is as sacred as priesthood as innate a desire, as inescapable as the genius which compels a great artist. If he has not the concern for humanity, the love of living creatures, the vision of the priest and the artist, he must not teach.
Pearl S. Buck
It certainly must have been a relief for women of the country to realize that one could be a woman and a lady and yet be thoroughly political.
Pearl S. Buck
Exclusion is always dangerous. Inclusion is the only safety if we are to have a peaceful world.
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
when the people of any country choose peace at all costs, not even generals can make war.
Pearl S. Buck
An intelligent, energetic, educated woman cannot be kept in four walls - even satin-lined, diamond-studded walls - without discovering sooner or later that they are still a prison cell.
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
We send missionaries to China so the Chinese can get to heaven, but we won't let them into our country.
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
A favorite means of escaping the solution to any problem is to declare it too complex for solution. This absolves us from attempting solution. ... Any problem is too complex to solve when we do not wish to accept the conditions of solution. Solution is possible where acceptance is ready.
Pearl S. Buck
