More From Pearl S. Buck
- "To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death."
- "Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself."
- "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."
More In Death
- "If forgers and malefactors are put to death by the secular power, there is much more reason for excommunicating and even putting to death one convicted of heresy."― Thomas Aquinas
- "I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it."― John Grisham
- "One puts off the biography like you put off death. To write an autobiography is to etch the words on your own gravestone."― Carlos Fuentes
