Pearl Buck

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or buck:

    “Then must you speak
    Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
    Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought,
    Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,
    Like the base Judean threw a pearl away
    Richer than all his tribe.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Through barnlike, theatrelike houses
    On the winds of the buck and wing.”
