Pearl Buck

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or buck:

“High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
His proud imaginations”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“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.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
