More quotes by Arthur Golden
Water is powerful. It can wash away earth, put out fire, and even destroy iron.
Arthur Golden
His face was very heavily creased, and into each crease he had tucked some worry or other, so that it wasn't really his face any longer, but more like a tree that had nests of birds in all of the branches. He had to struggle constantly to manage it and always looked worn out from the effort.
Arthur Golden
Sometimes, he sighed, I think the things I remember are more real than the things I see.
Arthur Golden
Can't you see? Every step I have taken, since I was that child on the bridge, has been to bring myself closer to you.
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
I stumbled out into the courtyard to try to flee my misery, but of course we can never flee the misery that is within us.
Arthur Golden
Waiting patiently doesn't suit you. I can see you have a great deal of water in your personality. Water never waits. It changes shape and flows around things, and finds the secret paths no one else has thought about. [Mameha]
Arthur Golden
The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.
Arthur Golden
And when I raised myself to look at the man who'd spoken, I had a feeling of leaving my misery behind me there on the stone wall.
Arthur Golden
Some people have difficulty telling the difference between something great and something they've simply heard of.
Arthur Golden
A geisha has studied a man's moods and his seasons. She fusses and he blooms.
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
You seemed so desperate, like you might drown if someone didn't save you.
Arthur Golden
We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course.
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
After all, when a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.
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
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
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
My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else.
Arthur Golden
