Arthur Golden
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
Occasionally in life we come upon things we can't understand, because we have never seen anything similar.

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

Arthur Golden
A woman who acts like a fool is a fool.
Arthur Golden

Arthur Golden

Arthur Golden
The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.
Arthur Golden
My tears simply broke through the fragile wallthat had held them, and with a terrible feeling of shame, I laid my head upon the table and let them drain out of me.
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
After all, when a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.
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
If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
Arthur Golden
How many times already had I encountered the painful lesson that although we may wish for the barb to be pulled from our flesh, it leaves a welt that doesn't heal?
Arthur Golden
