Crazy Quote by Betty Rollin

“[On her mastectomy:] Pity is delicious. I was crazy about the pity I got. It was the best kind, too. I did not get, nor did I want, the drooling, mewing kind. I preferred something more restrained but deep-felt. Quality pity.” quote by Betty Rollin — Download Open image
