More quotes by Arthur Golden
If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
Arthur Golden
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
What an unbearable sorrow it would be, to realized I'd never really tasted to things I'd eaten, or seen the places I'd been. What life would I have? I would be like the dancer who had practiced since childhood for a performance she would never give.
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.
Arthur Golden
I had to wonder if men were so blinded by beauty that they would feel privileged to live their lives with an actual demon, so long as it was a beautiful demon.
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
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

Arthur Golden
We don't become geisha because we want our lives to be happy we become geisha because we have no choice.
Arthur Golden
Even stone can be worn down with enough rain.
Arthur Golden
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
No one knows the author of memoir so well like himself.
Arthur Golden
A memoir provides a record not so much of the memoirist as of the memoirist's world.
Arthur Golden
A woman who acts like a fool is a fool.
Arthur Golden
We none of us find as much kindness in this world as we should.
Arthur Golden
Sadness was a very heavy thing.
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
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
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
I've lived my life again just telling it to you.
Arthur Golden
