Arthur Golden
Image
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
Image
We must use whatever methods we can to understand the movement of the universe around us and time our actions so that we are not fighting the currents, but moving with them.
Arthur Golden
Image
Here again, I saw life in all its noisy excitement passing me by.
Arthur Golden
Image
Nothing is as bleak as the future, except the past.
Arthur Golden
Image
I could no more have stopped myself from feeling that sadness than you could stop yourself from smelling an apple that has been cut open on the table before you.
Arthur Golden
Image
If you have experienced an evening more exciting than any in your life, you're sad to see it end and yet you still feel grateful that it happened.
Arthur Golden
Image
Water is powerful. It can wash away earth, put out fire, and even destroy iron.
Arthur Golden
Image
Was life nothing more than a storm that constantly washed away what had been there only a moment before, and left behind something barren and unrecognizable?
Arthur Golden
Image
After all, when a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.
