Famous quotes containing the word surgery:

    “It is difficult for me to imagine the same dedication to women’s rights on the part of the kind of man who lives in partnership with someone he likes and respects, and the kind of man who considers breast-augmentation surgery self-improvement.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
