Arthur Golden
If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
Arthur Golden
Water is powerful. It can wash away earth, put out fire, and even destroy iron.
Arthur Golden
If a few minutes of suffering could make me so angry, what would years of it do? Even a stone can be worn down with enough rain.
Arthur Golden
You seemed so desperate, like you might drown if someone didn't save you.
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 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
A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course of victory.
Arthur Golden
We none of us find as much kindness in this world as we should.
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.
