Pearl S. Buck
In our changing world nothing changes more than geography.
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
When hope is taken away from a people, moral degeneration follows swiftly thereafter.
