“It's kind of funny...the moments on which life hinges. I think growing up you always imagine your life--your success--depends on your family and how much money they have, where you go to college, what sort of job you can pin down, starting salary...But it doesn't, you know. You wouldn't believe this, but life hinges on a couple of seconds you never see coming. And what you decide in those few seconds determines everything from then on... And you have no idea what you'll do until you're there...”

“There is no such thing as morality in these distressing times. What we are witnessing is the death of courtesy in Western civilization. I don't speak of the mincing, effete courtesy of these desperate times, but the virile, robust courtesy born in the most violent of times, the Middle Ages. I lament the passing of that form of chivalry which was the way that civilized men had agreed to treat each other during times of peace. It was a code and a hallmark of civilization, and men would rather have died by their own hand than break the code.”
― Pat Conroy, The Lords of Discipline
