Bessie-isms:

*Truth isn’t what you want it to be, no matter how badly you want it to be what it isn’t.

*Fear makes you flee things you’d enjoy if you could try them. Fear makes you be less human than you could be, and less able to live fully, the life you deserve. Overcoming your fear is the greatest thing you can do for your life.

Quotable:

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.
