Pat Conroy
“She was one of those Southerners who knew from an early age that the South could never be more for them than a fragrant prison, administered by a collective of loving but treacherous relatives.”
Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides

Pat Conroy
“Anyone who knows me well must understand and be sympathetic to my genuine need to be my own greatest hero. It is not a flaw of character; it is a catastrophe.”
Pat Conroy, The Lords of Discipline

Pat Conroy
“I stood face to face with the moon and the ocean and the future that spread out with all its bewildering immensity before me.”
Pat Conroy

Pat Conroy
“American men are allotted just as many tears as American women. But because we are forbidden to shed them, we die long before women do, with our hearts exploding or our blood pressure rising or our livers eaten away by alcohol because that lake of grief inside us has no outlet. We, men, die because our faces were not watered enough.”
Pat Conroy, Beach Music
