Pearl S. Buck
  • Let woman out of the home, let man into it, should be the aim of education. The home needs man, and the world outside needs woman.

  • In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write.

  • 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.

  • Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.

  • None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
