More quotes by Arthur Golden
Even stone can be worn down with enough rain.
Arthur Golden
I tried to continue, but somehow my throat made up its mind to swallow – though I can’t think what I was swallowing, unless it was a little knot of emotion I pushed back down because there was no room in my face for any more.
Arthur Golden
I could no more have stopped myself from feeling that sadness than you could stop yourself from smelling an apple that has been cut open on the table before you.
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
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
Every man has his destiny. But who needs to go to a fortune-teller to find it? Do I go to a chef to find out if I'm hungry?
Arthur Golden
My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else.
Arthur Golden
I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting, he explained. I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals - true equals - only when they both have equal confidence.
Arthur Golden
My tears simply broke through the fragile wallthat had held them, and with a terrible feeling of shame, I laid my head upon the table and let them drain out of me.
Arthur Golden
We all know that a winter scene, though it may be covered over one day, with even the trees dressed in shawls of snow, will be unrecognizable the following spring. Yet I never imagined such a thing could occur within our very selves.
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
Nothing is as bleak as the future, except the past.
Arthur Golden
Sadness was a very heavy thing.
Arthur Golden
If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
Arthur Golden
For a flicker of a moment I imagined a world completely different from the one I'd always known, a world in which I was treated with fairness, even kindness-- a world in which fathers didn't sell their daughters.
Arthur Golden
If you have experienced an evening more exciting than any in your life, you're sad to see it end and yet you still feel grateful that it happened.
Arthur Golden
We none of us find as much kindness in this world as we should.
Arthur Golden
I worried she might spend an afternoon chatting with me about the sights and then wish me best of luck.
Arthur Golden
I will think of you every time I need to be reminded that there is beauty and goodness in the world.
Arthur Golden
No one knows the author of memoir so well like himself.
