Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden

 



Memorable quotes:

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.
 

Was life nothing more than a storm that constantly washed away what had been only a moment before,and left behind something barren and unrecognizable ?

Occasionally in life we come upon things we cant understand because we have never seen anything similar - pg 112.

Of all the lessons I'd learned, the hardest one lay just ahead of me
- pg 296.

Adversity is like a strong wind.. it tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn. - pg 348.

Nothing is bleaker than the future, except perhaps the past - pg 336.

I've stopped believing that anything in life is 'as simple as that' - pg 367.

We must always keep something to remember those who have left us - pg 407.

I dont think any of us can speak frankly about pain until we are no longer enduring it - pg 419 .

I think the things that I remember are more real than the things that I see - pg 427.
