Bessie-isms:

*The truth cuts only once, and then can heal. A lie is like a million paper cuts, ongoing and unavoidable.

*Every human hungers to recreate certain feelings from their childhood; the dryer warmed blanket, the first puppy or kitten, being cuddled and read to. The happy, successful adult has found the adult equivalents of these.

Quotable:

If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.

Andre Maurois
