Buck

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)

    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)

    As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
    Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
    And landed pouring like a waterfall,
    And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
    And forced the underbrush—and that was all.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
