Quote by Pat Conroy

“While attending the Citadel, I had gone into an uncontrollable rapture when I read Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. He made the city of Paris glisten with a romantic luster it has never lost for me, and I could think of no finer way to spend a part of my life than by writing a book in the storied, uncapturable city of literature and light.”

“Es por eso, que en nombre de la nobleza que creo tener, te perdono. Te perdono porque eres una víctima, porque tu alma está atrapada, porque ningún mal que has hecho ha sido a propósito. Te perdono porque debo perdonarte. Te perdono y también me perdono a mí mismo, por creerte un enemigo cuando no lo eras. Me perdono por la ira, por el deseo de venganza, y por sentir todavía algo de rencor… Me perdono haberme culpado tanto. Y principalmente, me perdono porque todo dolor que nace de la culpa, debe morir con el perdón. Ahora quiero que descanses en paz.”
