    Hamka
    “Diribut runduklah padi
    Dicupak datuk Temenggung
    Hidup kalau tidak berbudi
    Duduk tegak kemari canggung

    Tegak rumah karena sendi
    Runtuh budi rumah binasa
    Sendi bangsa ialah budi
    Runtuh budi runtuhlah bangsa
    ”

    Fumiko Enchi
    “Happiness--a small-scale, endearing, harmonious happiness--surely dwelt here beneath the low-powered lamps in the tiny rooms of these houses. A small-scale happiness and a modest harmony: let a man cry out, let him rage, let him howl with grief with all the power of which he was capable, what more than these could he ever hope to gain in this life?”

    Arthur Golden
    “You cannot say to the sun, 'More sun,' or to the rain, 'Less rain.' To a man, geisha can only be half a wife. We are the wives of nightfall. And yet, to learn kindness after so much unkindness, to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew, would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness? After all these are not the memoirs of an empress, nor of a queen. These are memoirs of another kind.”
