Bessie-isms:

*A human can endure a limitless barrage of abuse, cruelty, neglect and hat if they have a single dream to cling to.

*Good neighbors are a blessing, but so too are bad ones. They teach you patience, and help you gain strength; not killing them improves your moral fiber.

Quotable:

Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.

Octavio Paz
