Famous quotes containing the word buck:

    Not dancing but nearly risen
    Through barnlike, theatrelike houses
    On the winds of the buck and wing.

    Nothing and no one can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors. They are the oldest civilized people on earth. Their civilization passes through phases but its basic characteristics remain the same. They yield, they bend to the wind, but they never break.
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
