Pearl Buck

Fron her Credo 1939. "We are born free, in other words, of every sort of predestination. In each of us there is a little germ of individual being, compounded, it may be, of everything, inheritance, environment, and all else, but the compound itself is new. It is forever unique." Unique freedom? Positive force? What does that mean? She says "It means roving imagination and daring thinking and ready laughter and quick appreciation and intense interests and wide observation."
