“Comely was the town by the curving river that they dismantled in a year's time. Beautiful was Colleton in her last spring as she flung azaleas like a girl throwing rice at a desperate wedding. In dazzling profusion, Colleton ripened in a gauze of sweet gardens and the town ached beneath a canopy of promissory fragrance.” YearsLastsBeautifulGirlSweetSpringGardenRiversTownsDesperateThrowingFragranceRiceDazzlingCanopyAzaleas Book:The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline, and The Prince of Tides: Three Classic Novels in One Collection Source: The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline, and The Prince of Tides: Three Classic Novels in One Collection
“I wasn't a jock in school, and by the 10th grade, when I was in boarding school I was carrying water buckets for the girls' hockey team. I was the kid with long hair and glasses and acne trying to learn how to play guitar and piano in the music center. I was not an athlete past the age of 13 or 14 when they start throwing the ball really fast.” TryingLongPlayKidsAgeSchoolPastGirlWaterTeamHairBallsGuitarGlassesAthletePianoGradesHockeyThrowingBucketsJocksLong HairAcneHockey Team Author:Michael Weatherly

“As children, women are encouraged to be "little ladies." Little ladies don't scream as vociferously as little boys, and they are chastised more severely for throwing tantrums or showing temper: "high spirits" are expected and therefore tolerated in little boys; docility and resignation are the corresponding traits expected of little girls. Now, we tend to excuse a show of temper by a man where we would not excuse an identical tirade from a woman: women are allowed to fuss and complain, but only a man can bellow in rage.” MenChildrenLittlesShowsSpiritGirlWomenBoysExcuseExpectedRageComplainingThrowingScreamTemperTraitsIdenticalLittle BoysResignationCorrespondingTantrums Author:Robin Lakoff
