Memoirs of a geisha quote?

Question

What's the quote on the last page of the book... the last few lines?

Answer 1

it says:

"...As a young girl I believed my life would never have been a struggle if Mr.Tanaka hadn't torn me away from my tipsy house. But now I know that our world is no more permanent than a wave rising on the ocean. Whatever our struggles and triumphs, however we may suffer them, all too soon they bleed into a wash, just like watery ink on paper."

Answer 3

Off of the top of my head, I want to say "The rest is shadows," but I think I may be wrong.
