Quotes
-
Liu - Grain Merchant : Mr. Wang, two clever sons like these are the better half of your wealth.
Wang Lung : They're stupid, worthless creatures. If anything was driven into their thick, brass skulls, it was by beating them. I told their teacher to beat them. He beat them so well that this one's going to the university.
Liu - Grain Merchant : Indeed.
Elder Son : If I'm not too unworthy, I hope to win a degree in agriculture.
Liu - Grain Merchant : Degree? Agriculture?
Wang Lung : That's some kind of paper that will make it rain just enough, but not too much.
