Arthur Golden
“The war ended for us in August of 1945. Most anyone who lived in Japan during this time will tell you that it was the very bleakest moment in a long night of darkness. Our country wasn't simply defeated, it was destroyed and I don't mean by all the bombs, as horrible as those were. When your country has lost a war and an invading army pours in, you feel as though you yourself have been led to the execution ground to kneel, hands bound, and wait for the sword to fall. During a period of a year or more, I never once heard the sound of laughter unless it was little Juntaro, who didn't know any better. And when Juntaro laughed, his grandfather waved a hand to shush him. I've often observed that men and women who were young children during these years have a certain seriousness about them; there was too little laughter in their childhoods.”
Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

“Mapy. Chodziłam tam i z powrotem, stąpając po mapach. Nic. Były po prostu martwe, nie było sygnału, nie było reakcji. To się porobiło.
- Utknęliśmy na amen?
- Amen to jest w waszym pacierzu. Ria, to nie ty to zrobiłeś.
- Nikogo innego tu nie było. Dotknąłem i trafiłem. Pac.
- Dobrze już, dobrze. Podaj mi moje ciuchy.
- Wychodzisz, Księżniczko?
- W pewnym sensie.”
Eve Janson, 20/25: Kapitan
