Pat Conroy

Pat Conroy
My mother raised me to be a writer.
Pat Conroy
I was born and raised on a Carolina sea island and I carried the sunshine of the low-country, inked in dark gold, on my back and shoulders.
Pat Conroy

Pat Conroy
If not for sports, I do not think my father would have ever talked to me.
Pat Conroy
A recipe is a story that ends with a good meal.
Pat Conroy
The only way I could endure being a coward was if I was the only one who knew it.
Pat Conroy
There are no verdicts to childhood, only consequences, and the bright freight of memory.
Pat Conroy
I was born to be a point guard, but not a very good one.
