We none of us find as much kindness in this world as we should.
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.

A mouse who wishes to fool the cat doesn't simply scamper out of its hole whenever it feels the slightest urge.
Arthur Golden
Image
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
Image
As an American man of the 1990s writing about a Japanese woman of the 1930s, I needed to cross three cultural divides - man to woman, American to Japanese, and present to past.
Arthur Golden
Image
Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are.
Arthur Golden
Image
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]

Image
You seemed so desperate, like you might drown if someone didn't save you.
Arthur Golden
Image
My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else.

Geisha is always called beautiful even if she is not.

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.

If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
