Sayuri:"[narration] You cannot say to the sun, 'More sun'; or to the rain, 'Less rain'. To a man: geisha can only be half a wife. We are the wives of nightfall. And yet, to learn kindness after so much unkindness, to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew, would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness? After all these are not the memoirs of an empress; nor of a queen. These are memoirs of another kind."
