“When someone who's starved of love is shown something that looks like sincere affection, is it any wonder that she jumps at it and clings to it?”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“In every human heart is a place where you put all your broken dreams. When something doesn't work out, no matter what it may be, you just have to give it up and stuff it in with your broken dreams. And make sure you keep the lid on tight.”
― Sayo Masuda

“What a lovely place this world would be if only people would feel affection for everyone else, and all the ugliness of the human heart were to vanish - our envy of those better off than ourselves and our scorn for those worse off.”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“Being in love isn't the only way of loving. I realized with all my being that if you loved somebody- it didn't matter who it was- and dedicated yourself to bringing joy to your loved one, you, too, would be redeemed.”
― Sayo Masuda

“No matter how deep in disgrace, a human being IS human, after all.”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“When I was a nursemaid at the home of the landowners, a nun who happened to pass once gave me something square and white.Timidly I licked it and discovered that it was sweet and delicious. I realize now that it must have been a sugar cube;but still, more than twenty years later, I remember clearly the joy I felt then. It's not just children; everyone seems to be deeply touched by unexpected joy brought to them by others and is unable to forget it.
That child will be grown up by now, and if he hasn't forgotten me, whenever he sees a crying child he'll want to say a kind word and wipe the kid's nose. And when that kid grows up, he'll do the same. To do something kind for another is never a bad feeling; it fosters a spirit of caring for other people. And who knows,after a hundrend years, human beings may even learn to cooperate with one another...Yes, that was it: I'd try to teach children that if they felt glad when someone gave them a single piece of candy,then they in turn should give to others.”

“Only when I turned thirty did I finally feel for the first time that I was free, that I could live as I liked, as an individual. It's as if at thirty, I'd been born for the first time. Until then, I was never more than someone's tool.”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“In every human heart is a place where you put your broken dreams. When something doesn't work out, no matter what it may be, you just have to give it up and stuff it in with your broken dreams. And make sure you keep the lid on tight.”

“Nor was I the only one struggling.To live an ordinary life, like any ordinary person, must have been the vain dream of countless others.”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“Never give birth to children thoughtlessly!'' I want to shout it out loud.That is why, stroke by faltering stroke, I've written this all down.”

“At lunch break I would sit all by myself someplace where he could see me. I did everything in my power to attract his attention without letting people realize it was an act...

If he happened to glance my way, I didn't wast the opportunity but gazed back at him with an indefinably imploring look. On the way home from the factory, I'd make sure I was slightly ahead of him, head drooping, walking along despondently...

Maybe you can't say this as a general rule, but I was convinced that most men's hearts were terribly susceptible to feelings of pity.

One morning about two months later, I heard on the weather forecast that it would rain in the afternoon, and so I went out without an umbrella. This was my chance!”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“Soon it would be my turn to become a fully-fledged geisha, so I devoted myself eagerly to the preparations. It wouldn't do to play the ingénue forever. I had to study how to make them feel that I was cute and sexy.

First, you watch a customer's face and wait until your eyes meet. The moment your eyes meet, you flutter your eyelashes two or three times, then lower your eyes, and look at him again. If your eyes meet this time, then you've timed it just right. You'd think that the next step would be to blush attractively, but it doesn't work like that. You have to pretend that your cheeks are blushing uncontrollably, put your hands to your face, stand up, and rush out into the corridor. Whenever I had the time, I practiced this in front of the mirror.”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“If you have the heart of a human being and you become the parent of a human being, then even if it exhausts every bit of your energy, until that child can walk alone I want you to do your duty as a parent.”

“After that, whenever I saw him I'd turn on the charm; when I was called to one of Hii-san's parties, I'd pour saké and exchange cups with him, working ally my wiles and deceptions on him for two hours or more; then at the last minute, I'd escape. They say there's a knack to catching fish; well, there's a knack to catching men, too.

On the fishing analogy, then, I was the fish and Hii-san was the fisherman, and the fish was trying to get herself caught. I'm yours for the catching, I let him think, and then escape with the bait five or six times. By which time, the amount he'd spent on bait had begun to build up and he'd become more and more determined to catch me the next time. With this trick, bit by bit, I got him hooked.”
― Sayo Masuda, Autobiography of a Geisha

“Elder Sister Karuta used to teach me things. 'Customers are children and geisha are chestnuts,' she would say, 'so you mustn't just pop out of your shell of your own free will and say, 'Oh, do come in.' If they don't have to make a bit of effort, you won't seem so delectable. But if they think there's something delicious inside that shell, they'll do anything to get at it, even if they have to bloody their hands on the burrs. So sometimes it's a good idea to prick them with your thorns. Something they've gone to that much trouble to get hold of, they'll respect; they won't take you for granted. You've got to use your wits.' It isn't just us geisha, I thought, all women ought to take this admonition to heart.”
