Famous quotes containing the word buck:

—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

“Not dancing but nearly risen
Through barnlike, theatrelike houses
On the winds of the buck and wing.”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“Chinese are wise in comprehending without many words what is inevitable and inescapable and therefore only to be borne.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
