“Nothing in life is ever as simple as we imagine.”
― Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

― Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

“I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life; but for me, I fell toward the Chairman just as a stone must fall toward the earth. When I cut my lip and met Mr. Tanaka, when my mother died and I was cruelly sold, it was all like a stream that falls over rocky cliffs before it can reach the ocean. Even now that he is gone I have him still, in the richness of my memories.”
― Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

“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, Memoirs of a Geisha
