Bessie-isms:

*Are you busy living or busy pretending you’re living? They aren’t they same, no matter how much you wish they were.

*You are less of a coward than you imagine. You get out of bed each day, to face the unknown and unexpected. That takes more courage than you’d want to display most days!

*If you can carp and complain about the creativity of others, you too can be a critic. If you can also be snotty and condescending, and even a bit witty, you can be a very popular critic with many people, unfortunately.

Quotable:

By dint of railing at idiots, we risk becoming idiots ourselves.

Gustave Flaubert
