Arthur Golden
A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course of victory.
Arthur Golden
What an unbearable sorrow it would be, to realized I'd never really tasted to things I'd eaten, or seen the places I'd been. What life would I have? I would be like the dancer who had practiced since childhood for a performance she would never give.
Arthur Golden
Water is powerful. It can wash away earth, put out fire, and even destroy iron.
Arthur Golden
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
I had to wonder if men were so blinded by beauty that they would feel privileged to live their lives with an actual demon, so long as it was a beautiful demon.
Arthur Golden
Watch for the thing that will show itself to you. Because that thing, when you find it, will be your future.
Arthur Golden
We must use whatever methods we can to understand the movement of the universe around us and time our actions so that we are not fighting the currents, but moving with them.
Arthur Golden
A memoir provides a record not so much of the memoirist as of the memoirist's world.
Arthur Golden
Nothing in life is ever as simple as we imagine.
