“I curled myself into a ball and cried quietly, doing that thing that only young people can do, namely, feeling sorry for myself. Once you're past thirty you lose that ability; instead of feeling sorry for yourself you turn bitter.”

“What's so wrong with feeling sorry for myself? Better that than trying to get other people to feel sorry for me.”

“So remember, if you're feeling bitter — or sorry for yourself about what you've done, and how much good you've accomplished — or if you find yourself more than anyone else talking about the good you've done, you're doing it for the wrong reasons, because it should be the default.”

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.”

“I certainly will not persuade myself to feel more than I do. I am quite enough in love. I should be sorry to be more”

“I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I've got to think.”

“I let myself feel good and sorry for myself, but only for a second. Daddy always said that the most useless of all human emotions was self-pity.”

“Just because you had every right to feel sorry for yourself didn't mean you ever took the opportunity to do so.”

“I'm sorry you seem so stung,and I'm sorry you feel you have to hold your tonguewhen you're so pretty and smart<BR”

“Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.”
