Pat Conroy quote: "But even her demons she invested with inordinate beauty,..."
But even her demons she invested with inordinate beauty, consecrated them with the dignity of her attention. Pat Conroy
Every woman I had ever met who walked through the world appraised and classified by an extraordinary physicality had also received the keys to an unbearable solitude. It was the coefficient of their beauty, the price they had to pay. Pat Conroy
