Quotes
Pat Conroy: Gang, we're going to learn all these records. We're gonna look like geniuses when we know all these songs. Visitors are going to come here, expecting nothing but stupidity and poverty - I'm going to switch on this record player - you're going to look those people right in the eye, and exclaim: "Are you perchance... familiar with the works of Rimsky-Korsakov?"

Pat Conroy: On the outside of every men's room in the world is the word "Gentlemen." I'll tell you what that means. A gentleman treats his fellow man with respect for his person and for his dignity. He doesn't slander his religion, his color or his pecker. And if he does any of these things around me, I'm going to lay this fist 'longside his jaw.

Pat Conroy: As for my kids, I don't think I changed the quality of their lives significantly, or altered the fact that they have no share in the country that claimed them - the country that's failed them. All I know is I felt much beauty in my time with them.
