Pat Conroy Quotes

It Is An Art Form To Hate New York City Properly. So Far I Have Always Been A Featherweight Debunker Of New York; It Takes Too Much Energy And Endurance To Record The Infinite Number Of Ways The City Offends Me. Were I To List Them All, I Would Fill Up A Book The Size Of The Manhattan Yellow Pages, And That Would Merely Be The Prologue. Every Time I Submit Myself To The Snubs And Indignities Of That Swaggering City And Set Myself Adrift Among The Prodigious Crowds, A Feeling Of Displacement, Profound And Enervating, Takes Me Over, Killing All The Coded Cells Of My Hard-won Singularity. The City Marks My Soul With A Most Profane, Indelible Graffiti. There Is Too Much Of Too Much There.
