"You get a little moody sometimes but I think that's because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up."

"Music could ache and hurt, that beautiful music was a place a suffering man could hide."

"American men are allotted just as many tears as American women. But because we are forbidden to shed them, we die long before women do, with our hearts exploding or our blood pressure rising or our livers eaten away by alcohol because that lake of grief inside us has no outlet. We, men, die because our faces were not watered enough."
Pat Conroy (Beach Music)
