More quotes by Arthur Golden
I've lived my life again just telling it to you.
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
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
I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting, he explained. I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals - true equals - only when they both have equal confidence.
Arthur Golden
A geisha has studied a man's moods and his seasons. She fusses and he blooms.
Arthur Golden
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
His face was very heavily creased, and into each crease he had tucked some worry or other, so that it wasn't really his face any longer, but more like a tree that had nests of birds in all of the branches. He had to struggle constantly to manage it and always looked worn out from the effort.
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
Every man has his destiny. But who needs to go to a fortune-teller to find it? Do I go to a chef to find out if I'm hungry?
Arthur Golden
I went back to those graves not long afterward and found as I stood there that sadness was a very heavy thing. My body weighed twice what it had only a moment earlier, as if those graves were pulling me down toward them.
Arthur Golden
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
The corridor couldn't have smelled more strongly of fish guts if we had actually been inside a fish.
Arthur Golden
It was what we Japanese called the onion life, peeling away a layer at a time and crying all the while.
Arthur Golden
We all know that a winter scene, though it may be covered over one day, with even the trees dressed in shawls of snow, will be unrecognizable the following spring. Yet I never imagined such a thing could occur within our very selves.
Arthur Golden
Sadness was a very heavy thing.
Arthur Golden
My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else.
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.
Arthur Golden
Sometimes, he sighed, I think the things I remember are more real than the things I see.
Arthur Golden
I will think of you every time I need to be reminded that there is beauty and goodness in the world.
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.
