Text Quotes
Music could ache and hurt, that beautiful music was a place a suffering man could hide  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Looking around, I thought the human species was in fine shape and tried to think of something more beautiful than women and couldn’t come up with a thing. The propagation of the species was a dance of total joy  (Pat Conroy Quotes) No story is a straight line. The geometry of a human life is too imperfect and complex, too distorted by the laughter of time and the bewildering intricacies of fate to admit the straight line into its system of laws  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Because she deserved my tears if anyone on earth ever did. I could feel the tears within me, undiscovered, and untouched in their inland sea. Those tears had been with me always  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I don’t know why it is that I have always been happier thinking of somewhere I have been or wanted to go, than where I am at the time. I find it difficult to be happy in the present  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I do not have any other way of saying it. I think it happens but once and only to the very young when it feels like your skin could ignite at the mere touch of another person. You get to love like that but once  (Pat Conroy Quotes) 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 Quotes) Some things don’t mix. Some things don’t mix at all, but sometimes in life you have to take the risk  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Men are prisoners of their genitalia and women are the keepers of the keys to paradise  (Pat Conroy Quotes) If smallness was fortune, then I had come across a treasure, infinitesimal and beyond value. I felt lucky. You had to decide what was estimable and precious in your life and set out to find it. The objects you valued defined you  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Every woman I had ever met who walked through the world appraised and classified by an extraordinary physicality had also received the keys to an unbearable solitude. It was the coefficient of their beauty, the price they had to pay  (Pat Conroy Quotes) 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 Quotes) The great teachers fill you up with hope and shower you with a thousand reasons to embrace all aspects of life  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Know this. I think you could be special if you only thought there was anything special about yourself  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I can’t pass a bookstore without slipping inside, looking for the next book that will burn my hand when I touch its jacket, or hand me over a promissory note of such immense power that it contains the formula that will change everything about me  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I was trying to unravel the complicated trigonometry of the radical thought that silence could make up the greatest lie ever told  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Few things linger longer or become more indwelling than that feeling of both completion and emptiness when a great book ends. That the book accompanies the reader forever from that day forward is part of literature’s profligate generosity  (Pat Conroy Quotes) She had awakened something in him that had slumbered far too long. Not only did he feel passion, he felt the return of hope  (Pat Conroy Quotes) He was one of those rare men who are capable of being fully in love only once in their lives  (Pat Conroy Quotes) These are the quicksilver moments of my childhood I cannot remember entirely. Irresistible and emblematic, I can recall them only in fragments and shivers of the heart  (Pat Conroy Quotes) The mind is an intricate mechanism that can be run on the fuels of both victory and defeatism  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I was the only person in the world who thought it was a military duty to appear to be in a good mood  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I had come to a place where I was meant to be. I don’t mean anything so prosaic as a sense of coming home. This was different, very different. It was like arriving at a place much safer than home  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I would always be a better hater of things and institutions than a lover of them  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Why do they not teach you that time is a finger snap and an eye blink, and that you should not allow a moment to pass you by without taking joyous, ecstatic note of it, not wasting a single moment of its swift, breakneck circuit?  (Pat Conroy Quotes) You do not learn how to write novels in a writing program. You learn how by leading an interesting life. Open yourself up to all experience. Let life pour through you the way light pours through leaves  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Losing prepares you for the heartbreak, setback, and the tragedy that you will encounter in the world more than winning ever can. By licking your wounds you learn how to avoid getting wounded the next time  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Cameras are a lifesaver for very shy people who have nowhere else to hide. Behind a lens they can disguise the fact that they have nothing to say to strangers  (Pat Conroy Quotes) Like everything else, love’s not worth much without some action to back it up  (Pat Conroy Quotes) I realized early that unless you’re willing to kill the innocent, you can’t win  (Pat Conroy Quotes)
