Bessie-isms:

*If evil can be made to seem sweet, legions will not hesitate to open up and swallow it whole.

*Music has no practical purpose other than to entertain us. Perhaps we are music to God, since we seem to be good for little else.

Quotable:

Congress is so strange. Someone gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens, then everybody disagrees.
