Pearl S. Buck Quote: “For this Mary’s words were not surcharged with oversubtle meaning. No, she spoke them out swiftly and with sharp clearness and each word had its own weight and meaning and no more, good tools of her mind, but not messengers of vague suggestion.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Well, and you may have lived in the courts of the Old Lord, and you were accounted beautiful, but I have been a man’s wife and I have borne him sons, and you are still a slave.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Leah was more than beautiful. She was filled with some spirit, a high quality, which Peony admired and did not understand. The Chinese said of her, “She is heaven-good.” They meant that her goodness was natural and that it flowed from a fountain within herself.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on.”

Pearl S. Buck Quote: “I am always moved, with grateful wonder, by the goodness of people.

I have come to believe that the natural human heart is good, and I have observed that this goodness is found in all varieties of people, and that it can and does prevail in spite of other corruptions. This human goodness alone provides hope enough for the world. I have sometimes.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “I do not know when it is that the joy fades out of school for most children, so that they end not only by hating school but even worse, by hating books, and this is grave indeed, for in books alone is the accumulated wisdom of the whole human race, and to read no books is to deprive the self of ready access to wisdom.”

Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Learn the good that you can of the foreign people and reject the unsuitable.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “But no, it was not the small single moment which had killed him. It was the anger of all his life here in this house which he himself had built and lived in and hated all his years.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “What a man does in his own house cannot concern the nation.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “The gift he had been given was sometimes heavy to bear, the ability always to understand why the other person was as he was. Wounded, yes, but never angry, and there were times when he longed to feel fierce personal anger.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “It is good to know our universe. What is new is only new to us.”

Pearl S. Buck Quote: “In silence they lay close, without passion, but closer than passion could bring them they lay close.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “For the soul of man is born fresh in every child, and there is an age in every creature, unless he is debased too young, when for a time he sees clearly the difference between truth and falsehood, and hypocrisy infuriates him. He cannot forgive those who should be true and instead are liars. This fury, I believe, is the first cause for revolutions throughout history.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Religion was their meat and their excitement, their mental food and their emotional pleasure.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “All that had been was now no more.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “It is natural anywhere that people like their own kind, but it is not necessarily natural that their fondness for their own kind should lead them to the subjection of whole groups of other people not like them.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “As for their child, I am moved in two ways. He will have his own world to make. Being of neither East nor West purely, he will be rejected of each, for none will understand him. But I think, if he has the strength of both his parents, he will understand both worlds, and so overcome.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “To hate another human being is to take a worm into one’s own vitals. It consumes life.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “No, they were there, these missionaries, to fulfill some spiritual need of their own. It was a noble need, its purposes unselfish, partaking doubtless of that divine need through which God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son for its salvation. But somewhere I had learned from Thoreau, who doubtless learned it from Confucius, that if a man comes to do his own good for you, then must you flee that man and save yourself.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Believing in gods always causes confusion.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Long ago she had learned that to seem to yield is always stronger than to show resistance, and to acknowledge a fault quickly is always to show an invincible rectitude.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Never reproach him with his own weakness, for then he will become wholly weak. Never let him feel that but for you he would be useless, for then he will indeed become useless. You must search for the few strong threads in him and weave your fabric with those, and where the threads are weak, never trust to them. Supply your own in secret.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “There should be a deep attachment, heart should be tied to heart between parent and child, for unless the child learns how to love a parent profoundly, I believe that he will never learn how to love anyone else profoundly, and not knowing how to love means the loss of the meaning of life and its fulfillment.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “From the stars,” she thought, “doubtless all things are seen.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “Just as he lived with them alive, he will live with them dead. Someday he will accept their death as part of his life. He will weep no more. He will carry them in his memory and his thoughts. His flesh and blood are part of them. So long as he is alive, they, too, will live in him. The big wave came, but it went away. The sun shines again, birds sing, and earth flowers.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “I should like to penetrate your mind with my own,” he said. “I should like to pierce the mysteries of your soul.”
Pearl S. Buck Quote: “There is, of course, a difference between what one seizes and what one really possesses.”
