Want to Read $ 3.99"Fate is unalterable only in the sense that given a cause, a certain result must follow, but no cause is inevitable in itself, and man can shape his world if he does not resign himself to ignorance."-Pearl S. Buck, My Several Worlds
"in any war a victory means another war, and yet another, until someday inevitably the tides turn, and the victor is the vanquished, and the circle reverses itself, but remains nevertheless a circle."-Pearl S. Buck, My Several Worlds
"I can only say that in old Asia where the soldier was given no honor and war was without glory, there arose a culture which emphasized learning and wisdom and which produced no great and soul-racking world wars."-Pearl S. Buck, My Several Worlds
"I will not dwell on that sad time, for the bones of those young men and women are already dust. But I learned then that the same cruelties can be committed by any man who has the will to crush those who oppose him, or who even appear to oppose him, if power is his ambition and his satisfaction, and I learned then that the noblest end is lost if the means are not worthy of it."-Pearl S. Buck, My Several Worlds
