“The opposite of hope is despair, and when we despair, it is because we feel there are no choices.”
“We do not always like the people we love- we do not always have that choice.”
“We don't become geisha because we want our lives to be happy; we become geisha because we have no choice.”
“When we love someone it is because we built that feeling, bit by bit. It's a choice. It's what we make only for ourselves...”
“Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do because it's the right choice. But occasionally we have to put ourselves first.”
