Pat Conroy Quotes

The Moment You Are Born Your Death Is Foretold By Your Newly Minted Cells As Your Mother Holds You Up, Then Hands You To Your Father, Who Gently Tickles The Stomach Where The Cancer Will One Day Form, Studies The Eyes Where Melanoma's Dark Signature Is Already Written Along The Optic Nerve, Touches The Back Where The Liver Will One Day House The Cirrhosis, Feels The Bloodstream That Will Sweeten Itself Into Diabetes, Admires The Shape Of The Head Where The Brain Will Fall To The Ax-handle Of Stroke, Or Listens To Your Heart, Which, Exhausted By The Fearful Ways And Humiliations And Indecencies Of Life, Will Explode In Your Chest Like A Light Going Out In The World.
