Additional quotes by Pearl S. Buck

Yes, she now believed that when her body died, her soul would go on. Gods she did not worship, and faith she had none, but love she had and forever. Love alone had awakened her sleeping soul and had made it deathless.
She knew she was immortal.

None on earth can love those who declare that they alone are the sons of God.

When people work beyond their destiny, all they do fails.
