Pat Conroy
The great teachers fill you up with hope and shower you with a thousand reasons to embrace all aspects of life. I wanted to follow Mr. Monte around for the rest of my life, learning everything he wished to share of impart, but I didn't know how to ask.
Pat Conroy
I learned that if I could read, I could cook. I surprised myself I like it.
Pat Conroy
Craziness attacks the softest eyes and hamstrings the gentlest flanks.
Pat Conroy
Good coaching is good teaching and nothing else.
Pat Conroy
My soul grazes like a lamb on the beauty of an indrawn tide.
Pat Conroy
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
Happiness is an accident of nature, a beautiful and flawless aberration.
