Louise Fletcher Quotes

Life had stopped for her a long time ago. She was so out of touch with her feelings that she had no joy in her life and no concept of the fact that she could be wrong. She delivered her care of her insane patients in a killing manner, but she was convinced she was right.
Louise Fletcher

Life, Time, Care

Louise Fletcher

Time, Thought, Friends
