Quotes:

Sayuri Nitta: [to Nobu, after the match is won] I see now why you like sumo, you can never judge a man's power by his appearance alone.

Chairman: You have to savor life while you can.

Mameha: [in voiceover] Remember, Chiyo, geisha are not courtesans. And we are not wives. We sell our skills, not our bodies. We create another secret world, a place only of beauty. The very word "geisha" means artist and to be a geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art.

Chairman: Please, Sayuri, do not be afraid to look at me.

Sayuri Nitta: [turns to see the Chairman standing in front of her] Chairman, where is Nobu-san?::Chairman: He won't be coming.::Sayuri Nitta: Is something wrong?::Chairman: He knows what happened. It is not in his nature to forgive.::Sayuri Nitta: Chairman, what happened on the island...::Chairman: Please, you don't have to explain.::Sayuri Nitta: But I have shamed myself so deeply, past all forgiveness.::Chairman: No! I'm the one who must be forgiven.::Sayuri Nitta: I do not understand.::Chairman: Perhaps... if you had only known the truth.::Sayuri Nitta: The truth?::Chairman: Some years ago, I was on my way to the theater. I saw a little girl weeping by the Sunagawa. I stopped to buy her a cup of sweet ice.::Sayuri Nitta: You knew I was that little girl?::Chairman: Didn't you ever wonder why Mameha took you under her wing?::Sayuri Nitta: Mameha came to me because of you?... I wish you could have told me long ago.::[turns her back to him]::Chairman: What could I do? I owe Nobu my life. And so when I saw that he had a chance at happiness with you, I stood silent, but... But I cannot any longer. I hope... it is not too late. Don't be afraid to look at me, Chiyo.::Sayuri Nitta: [turns around to face him again] Can't you see? Every step I have taken, since I was that child on the bridge, has been to bring myself closer to you.::[finally kiss and embrace, cries in his arms]

Nobu: There is nothing I want more, Sayuri, than to become your danna.::Sayuri Nitta: I already owe you far too much. [turns away]::Nobu: I will not be refused.::Sayuri Nitta: Please.::Nobu: We are tied to each other. I know you feel it too.::Sayuri Nitta: I never meant to mislead you.::Nobu: [Grabs Sayuri] Sayuri, I do not like things held up before me that I cannot have...

The Baron: [after Sayuri discovers the teapot she is pouring from is empty] I'm sure if there was one drop left in that pot, Sayuri would have gotten it out! [other male patrons laugh]

The Baron: [while forcefully undressing Sayuri] Sayuri, I'm only having a look. Any man would do the same.

Hatsumomo: [slaps Sayuri roughly] I shall destroy you...

Colonel Derricks: [stops Sayuri as she is exiting the hot spring] So, what is the protocol?::Sayuri Nitta: Excuse me?::Colonel Derricks: Suppose I wanted to see you in private.::Sayuri Nitta: I beg your pardon, colonel, but that is not a geisha's custom.::Colonel Derricks: [rubs Sayuri's shoulder] Don't be coy. I mean, if it's a matter of price, I'm sure...::Sayuri Nitta: If there were a price, you could never afford it. [exits spring]
