I have seen a woman like Hatsumi.

I have seen a woman like Hatsuma,

In the red dust, entangled in chaos,

But there is an inch of space left in my heart,

To a loved one, or to yourself.

Helpless, when enjoying the prosperity, he has already exchanged his own freedom.

At the moment of compromise, complete loss and instant aging.

You can even smell rotten.

Gong Li did a great job.

A man does not know a subtle move of his own,

What kind of turbulence will it stir in a girl's heart,

what kind of seeds are planted,

What a powerful life force to evoke.

Memoirs of a Geisha quotes

  • Sayuri Narration: [gazing at a ruined Hatsumomo in the streets] I could be her. Were we so different? She loved once. She hoped once. I could be her. I might be looking into my own future... Until the real future came falling from the air.

  • Mameha: [while teaching Sayuri] You cannot call yourself a truse geisha until you can stop a man in his tracks with a single look.
