Arthur Golden
Geisha is always called beautiful even if she is not.
Arthur Golden
You seemed so desperate, like you might drown if someone didn't save you.
Arthur Golden
At the temple there is a poem called Loss carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read loss, only feel it.
Arthur Golden
Watch for the thing that will show itself to you. Because that thing, when you find it, will be your future.
Arthur Golden
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
I've lived my life again just telling it to you.
Arthur Golden
A mouse who wishes to fool the cat doesn't simply scamper out of its hole whenever it feels the slightest urge.
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.
