Arthur Golden quotes
We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course.
Sometimes we get through adversity only by imagining what the world might be like if our dreams should ever come true.
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.
Hopes are like hair ornaments. Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one.
The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.
