Pat Conroy Quotes
Once You've Played For Someone, Sweated Blood For Them, Won And Lost Games For Them, Then That Person Is Transformed Forever In Your Eyes. He Simply Isn't Human Anymore. He's Something Better Than Human, He's Something Stern And Demanding. He Tries To Extract Performances From Your Body That Exceed Your Talent. He Makes You More Than You Really Are. He Gives You A Uniform, An Identity, A Feeling Of Brotherhood Like You Have Never Known Before And Most Likely Will Never Know Again ... All You Can Do For The Rest Of Your Life Is Feel Gratitude That He Let You Taste The Small Dose Of Glory, A Dose That Really Means Nothing, But Means Absolutely Everything To A Boy Growing Up.
