And pity--people who inspire it in you are actually very powerful people. To get someone else to take care of you, to feel sorry for you--that takes a lot of strength, smarts, manipulation. Very powerful people.

About This Quote

And pity, people who inspire it in you are actually very powerful people. To get someone else to take care of you, to feel sorry for you--that takes a lot of strength, smarts, manipulation. Very powerful people. People who have the power to make others feel sorry for them have a lot of power when it comes to using their pity on others. The fact that they use this power to make sexual advances towards others is a sad truth about the world we live in today.
