Upon the profound discontent of the young in every country do I set my faith. I beg you, the young, to be discontented. I pray that you may rebel against what is wrong, not with feeble negative complaining but with strong positive assertion of what is right for all humanity.

Pearl Buck 255 quotes

Just about everything signific...

Just about everything significant in my life happened after I passed forty. I was a housewife and mother, but yearned to be a writer. I worked at my writing whenever I could snatch a moment, and I assembled several manuscripts. I was just about forty when my first novel, East Wind, West Wind, was published. Then a few months later came The Good Earth. My career was launched at last, and it has given me the richest possible satisfaction

The highest civilizations -- the longest to last and I believe the most successful in human terms -- are those which have come the closest to achieving real understanding and mutual appreciation between men and women.

Pearl Buck 255 quotes

I know that the only completely happy life for man and for woman is their life, first together, and then with their children. I am a firm believer that no marriage can be really happy, and no home a happy one for the children as well, unless man puts woman first and woman puts man first, each for the other the giver of every good gift. Children are the fruit of this total love.

Introversion, at least if extreme, is a sign of mental and spiritual immaturity.

Write a novel if you must, but think of money as an unlikely accident. Get your reward out of writing it, and try to be content with that.

There will never cease to be ferment in the world unless people are sure of their food.

Pearl Buck 255 quotes

There will be no real content ...

There will be no real content among American women unless they are made and kept more ignorant or unless they are given equal opportunity with men to use what they have been taught. And American men will not be really happy until their women are.

But what happens when her beauty is torn from her like a cover from a book? Will he care to read her then, although her pages speak of nothing but love for him?

Can such stiff and formal moldings as words capture the spirit-essence of love?

At my age the bones are water in the morning until food is given them.

Pearl Buck 255 quotes

Only the brave should teach......

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.

Life is the wonder with which we are all infused.

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.

For our democracy has been marred by imperialism, and it has been enlightened only by individual and sporadic efforts at freedom.

We learn as much from sorrow as from joy, as much from illness as from health, from handicap as from advantage and indeed perhaps more.

Pearl Buck 255 quotes

The body was so little a part of him that its final stillness seemed nothing of importance. He was half out of it anyway and death was only a slipping out of it altogether and being at last what he always was, a spirit. We buried the pearly shell upon the mountain top.

The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between its men and its women.
