Arthur Golden
Even stone can be worn down with enough rain.
Arthur Golden

Arthur Golden
I began to feel that all the people I'd ever known who had died or left me had not in fact gone away, but continued to live on inside me just as this man's wife lived on inside him.
Arthur Golden
If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
