I learned to distinguish between the two kinds of people in the world: those who have known inescapable sorrow and those who have not.

there's two kinds of folk in the world, just like there's two kinds of life in a seed. Something sends one kind up to hunt its food in the light and air, and sends the other kind down into the earth to make the roots.

though some men did not make war as others did, if they sold their goods for profit to the war-makers, did it make them better because the weapon was not in their own hands, if they had made the weapon and sold it and so put it into the hands of those used it upon the innocent?

Pearl Buck 255 quotes

For war to man, like childbirt...

For war to man, like childbirth to women, is simplifying in its emotions and activities. All the real problems of life can be put aside while the one thing is done and little thought is needed to do it. ... His hatreds can be expressed without censure, he can let his emotions run free, he can behave as dramatically, as heroically as he likes, and no one laughs at him. It is almost impossible for a man to behave heroically in the cool and ordinary times of peace. But in war anything is allowed him, he is praised and app

War is the most devastating endemic and epidemic disease the human race has to endure, and yet too little has been done to discover and eliminate its cause by intelligent early control.

The greatest problem that war leaves, in a man, is how to recapture reality. That's because war is unreal.

Only very coarse persons wanted wars.

The typhoon came out of the sea first as a deep hollow roar. ... I was surrounded by the madness, the unreason, of uncontrolled, undisciplined energy. None of this made any sense. It was worse than useless - it was nature destroying its own creation - its own self. To create by the long process of growth and then to destroy by a fit of wild emotion - was this not madness, was this not unreason?

The feeling one has after coming to know American women is that they are starving at their sources.

I do not believe there is any important difference between men and women - certainly not as much as they may be between one woman and another or one man and another.

men cannot be free in a nation where women are forbidden freedom.

you seem to grieve for what is not so ... and there is no need to let your heart run ahead into evils that may never come.

I don't wait for moods - you'd never get anything done if you did.

The only real danger to our country is from within, that we forget our own power to be what we want to be.

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 Buck 255 quotes

It is love itself that is important -- the ability to love, no matter whom you love. For when you can no longer love anyone, you are no longer a living person. The heart dies if it loses the capacity to love.

As for inhibitions, I've spent a lifetime developing them, and I don't intend to lose them.
