“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.”
― Memoirs of a Geisha
― Memoirs of a Geisha
“Potem niezręczna cisza dotknęła mojego ciała. Centymetr po centymetrze tasował mnie. Nawet nie drgnął. Czułam się jak ofiara.
- Masz jakieś imię?
- Tak, Geisha.
Wcale nie, wymyśliłam je na potrzeby chwili. Później będę musiała się dowiedzieć, czy to słowo cokolwiek znaczy.
- Zwierzę, mówisz? Potrzebujesz schronienia?
- Niekoniecznie.
- Słuchaj, moja straż może tu być w każdej chwili. Nie widziałem cię, ty nie widziałaś mnie. Teraz odejdź, proszę.
- Jesteś pierwszą osobą, która odchodzi. Jeśli myślisz, że się odwrócę, to się mylisz.
Nie pokażę mu tyłeczka, nie ma takiej opcji.”
