"Probably for every man there is at least one city that sooner or later turns into a girl. How well or how badly the man actually knew the girl doesn’t necessarily affect the transformation. She was there, and she was the whole city, and that’s that.
J.D. Salinger"
A single man
"A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be."

"As he listened, Tom began to realize that these stories weren't routinely told. These were stories one had to earn. He could feel the wall coming down. He wondered if anyone else had made it this far. Which is why the next six words changed everything."
Summer: I've never told anybody that before.
Tom: I guess I'm not just anybody. "
Summer: I've never told anybody that before.

Memoirs of a Geisha
"The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves. Until one day there are none.
She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes are deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances, she sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows, the rest is secret."

"My story starts at sea, a perilous voyage to an unknown land,
a shipwreck, the wild waters roar and heave.
The brave vessel is dashed all to pieces, and all the helpless souls within her drowned.
All save one, a lady, whose soul is greater than the ocean, and her spirit stronger than the sea's embrace.
Not for her a watery end, but a new life beginning on a stranger shore.
It will be a love story, for she will be my heroine for all time. And her name will be Viola."
