Famous quotes containing the word buck:

    “Profound as race prejudice is against the Negro American, it is not practically as far- reaching as the prejudice against women. For stripping away the sentimentality which makes Mother’s Day and Best American Mother Contests, the truth is that women suffer all the effects of a minority.”
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    “Nothing and no one can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors. They are the oldest civilized people on earth. Their civilization passes through phases but its basic characteristics remain the same. They yield, they bend to the wind, but they never break.”
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    “How strange a thing is death, bringing to his knees, bringing to his antlers/The buck in the snow.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
