### Narrator (Sayuri as an elderly woman)

* I felt as a bird must feel when it has flown across the ocean and comes upon a creature that knows its nest.
* 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.
* Being sent out into the world isn't necessarily the same as leaving your home behind you.
* Dreams can be such dangerous things; they smolder on like a fire does, and sometimes consume us completely.
* Occasionally in life we come upon things we can't understand because we have never seen anything similar.
* If you have experienced an evening more exciting than any in life, you're sad to see it end, and yet you still feel grateful that it happened.
* I felt as a simple smelt must feel when a silver salmon glides by.
* I felt as the waves of the ocean must feel when clouds have blocked the warmth of the sun.
* Everything around me seemed to grow so quiet, as if he were the wind that blew and I were just a cloud carries upon it.
* He was like a song I'd heard once in fragments but had been singing in my mind ever since.
* (Of Hatsumomo) She was like a fabric taken from its warm closet and hung out of doors where the harsh weather will gradually consume it.
* A tree may look as beautiful as ever, but when you notice insects infesting it, and the tips of the branches that are brown from disease even the trunk seems to lose some of its magnificence.
* If you'd asked me why I wanted these things, I would have answered, why does a ripe persimmon taste delicious? Why does wood smell smoky when it burns?
* I don't think any of us can speak frankly about pain until we are no longer enduring it.
* A winter scene, though it may be covered over one day, with even trees dressed in shawls of snow, will be unrecognizable the following spring.
* Now I understood the thing I´d overlooked;the point wasn´t to become a geisha but to be one. To become a geisha . . . well, that was hardly a purpose in life. But to be a geisha . . . I could see it now as a stepping-stone to something else.
* Some people have difficulty telling the difference between something great and something they’ve simply heard of.

### Mameha

* Water never waits. It changes shape and flows around things, and finds the secret paths no one else has thought about.
* We don't become geisha because we want our lives to be happy; we become geisha because we have no choice.

### Admiral Yamamato Isoroku

* I never seek to defeat the man I'm fighting, I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals -true equals- only when they both have equal confidence.

# Kelly Townsend

Kelly Townsend (born September 27, 1968) is an Arizona senator for the Republican Party.

## Quotes

* I am thoroughly shocked, yet not surprised, at the product that was delivered to the people of Arizona by the hands of Adrian Fontes regarding the 2020 General election. Although the raw numbers of votes show a similar outcome to the official canvass. The important outcome is that the votes that were counted could be trusted as actual and true voter submissions, according to Arizona State law. However, what we learned today that there was a myriad of issues with the counting process that undermine the confidence in the true and accurate count of this election. The election system simply does not balance. Some of the issues that jump out immediately to me are as follows: • Deleted / purged files - The timing and deletion of files the day before the 2/2/21 audit. Maricopa county purged the machine records the day before the audit started. Many .exe and .dll files (approximately 1500) were either deleted or modified. • No security or credential management. There were shared accounts and passwords which made the identification of those deleting or purging files difficult, but not impossible. • Duplicates ballots were grossly mismanaged, and our laws were broken regarding this important part of our election process. • Chain of custody was not accurately kept, making it impossible who touched what and when. • Envelopes without signatures, images of ballot envelopes with an apparent approval stamp behind the basic graphics of the envelop, suggesting tampering. • Connectivity to the internet has been established, in violation of Arizona law and contrary to what we have been told about the system. • Sloppy caretaking of ballots, missing batches in boxes, batches in boxes not listed on the box or county list. These are just a few of the many issues brought up today and necessitate a dramatic change in the way we oversee our elections, and how we hold those accountable who have broken our laws. Most importantly, whenever there is malfeasance and skullduggery, we must both nullify that election and repeat it with one more securely conducted, and we must move forward with indictments of hose who perpetrated this fraud against us.

## Quotes
### From Committee on Standards in Public Life blog

* However, the pandemic has exposed vast structural inequalities in our systems. The work-place is sharply divided between those who have formal contracts with a right to fair treatment, severance pay and protection from bullying and harassment, and those on zero-hour contracts, or no contracts at all with no rights. News stories highlight how structural weaknesses in the social security system could see many families descend into poverty and how migrants and immigrants can struggle to access benefits even while we continue to benefit from their labour. The disproportionate effect of the pandemic on BAME communities and the fact we have yet to see a plan to deal with that is yet another example.
* The death of George Floyd in the US and the Black Lives Matter movement has done for racial inequality what William Wilberforce once said about slavery, “You may choose to look the other way, but you can never again say you did not know.”
** Authorised blog in a personal capacity on the Committee on Standards in Public Life's blog hosted on the United Kingdom's government's website concerning Black lives matter and inequalities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Quotes
### Understanding Islam, "Morals and Ethics" Dubai Media

* Beliefs & practices are the core of Islam. Yet, Islam is not considered complete without ethics and morals.
* Ethic is the core of humanity and the foundation of civilization.
* Islam has emphasized Ethics, good deeds and nice words in order to build a better world and an ideal society as it aims at bringing up the best in humans.
* Doing good to other people is not only a nice extra thing to do, but it is actually part of Emaan or the Faith; The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his neighbor [treat his neighbor with kindness], and whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his guest”.
* Imagine!, the two most important Sahabah in Islam, racing to help an old blind woman, at night and at the edge of the city!.
* Islam considers Ethics & Morals as a way to attain rewards and entitlement to Heavens.
* The real concept of morality is benefiting people and avoiding harming them.
* A Muslim should live up to his character, and employ his powers in doing what is good, beneficial and helpful.
* Any intentional inequitable harm is a danger zone!
* Goodness is not only required in action, but also in speech.
* Goodness is required even in thoughts and desires.
* If you succeeded with patience, you should try to reach a higher state of morality; which is to counter evil with good.
* Evil must not be countered with another evil but, rather, repelled by an act of goodness.
* The final level - of good ethics - is to deal with your enemy in the best kind of treatment as though he is a close friend!
* Foil hatred with goodness and love and make those enemy your true friends!
* It is relatively easy to control your anger after a while, but to do that after facing such extremes and at the height of your troubles, when you are wearied and exhausted, when you are heart-broken and depressed, that is sublime morality and magnificent ethics.
* -Ethic- is especially important while conducting business, in law suits and trials, when people act rudely, etc.
* Ethics are not theoretical! They are practical and affect our everyday life; at homes, in our neighborhood, at the road, at our work place.
* A true Muslim will surely strive to improve his manners and correct his condition, and purify his demeanor and his innermost feelings.
* Each one of us should ask himself; Am I being the best I can be to my family? Am I being the best parent I can be? Am I being the best child I can be? The best friend? The best neighbor? The best for my brothers and sisters? The best for my society? The best for humanity? Where am I from the saying: “The best of people, is the best TO the people”?
* There is always room for improvement in our lives. Are we willing to try?! Are we going to try?!
