RIP Pat Conroy

“The safe places could only be visited; they could only grant a momentary intuition of sanctuary. The moment always came when we had to return to our real life to face the wounds and grief indigenous to our home by the river.”
Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides

“I take account of my life and find that I have lived a lot and learned very little.”
Pat Conroy, South of Broad


“Hurt is a great teacher, maybe the greatest of all.”
Pat Conroy, My Reading Life

“The tide was a poem that only time could create, and I watched it stream and brim and makes its steady dash homeward, to the ocean.”
Pat Conroy, South of Broad
