More quotes by 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
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.
Arthur Golden

Arthur Golden

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
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]
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 mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course of victory.
Arthur Golden
The corridor couldn't have smelled more strongly of fish guts if we had actually been inside a fish.
Arthur Golden
Even stone can be worn down with enough rain.
Arthur Golden
Nothing in life is ever as simple as we imagine.
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
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
Water is powerful. It can wash away earth, put out fire, and even destroy iron.
Arthur Golden
Neither you nor I can know your destiny. You may never know it! Destiny isn't always like a party at the end of the evening. Sometimes it's nothing more than struggling through life from day to day.
Arthur Golden
It was what we Japanese called the onion life, peeling away a layer at a time and crying all the while.
