In our changing world nothing changes more than geography.

Every era of renaissance has come out of new freedoms for peoples. The coming renaissance will be greater than any in human history, for this time all the peoples of the earth will share in it.

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 ...

The truth has never been told about women in history: that everywhere man has gone woman has gone too, and what he has done she has done also. Women are ignorant of their own past and ignorant of their own importance in that past.

The melting-pot idea is futile ... The brew in a melting pot is always boiling over.

The older a people grows, the more it absorbs its own landscape and builds to it.

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.

No writer, I believe, should a...

No writer, I believe, should attempt a novel before he is thirty, and not then unless he has been hopelessly and helplessly involved in life. For the writer who goes out to find material for a novel, as a fishermen goes out to sea to fish, will certainly not write a good novel. Life has to be lived thoughtlessly, unconsciously, at full tilt and for no purpose except its own sake before it becomes, eventually, good material for a novel.

music is not technique and melody, but the meaning of life itself, infinitely sorrowful and unbearably beautiful.

Pearl Buck 255 quotes

The concept of 'Momism' is mal...

The concept of 'Momism' is male nonsense. It is the refuge of a man seeking excuses for his own lack of virility. I have listened to many women in various countries, and I have never found a woman who willingly 'mothers' her husband. The very idea is repulsive to her. She wants to mother the children while they are young, but never their fathers. True, she may be forced into the role of mother by a man's weaknesses and childishness, and then she accepts the role with dignity and patience, or with anger and impatience,

destructiveness comes only when life isn't lived. People who can live their lives don't destroy themselves.

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.

starvation is a shame and disgrace to the world and totally unnecessary in modern times.

For Nature is not unjust. She does not steal into the womb and like an evil fairy give her good gifts secretly to men and deny them to women. Men and women are born free and equal in ability and brain. The injustice begins after birth.

At heart a truly modest man, he had nevertheless the modest man's pride in his modesty in the face of achievement.
