More quotes by Arthur Golden
My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else.
Arthur Golden

Arthur Golden
It was what we Japanese called the onion life, peeling away a layer at a time and crying all the while.
Arthur Golden
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are.
Arthur Golden
Even stone can be worn down with enough rain.
Arthur Golden
She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes are deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances, she sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows, the rest is secret.
Arthur Golden
