Bessie-isms:

*A wise man knows better than to argue with a woman. Either she’ll have better facts than him, or will cry strategically, and ruin him that way. Surrender first, men, and spare yourselves.

*Adults are excited when they discover something new. They’ve forgotten what being a child was like, when every moment was an exciting new revelation about a world that seemed magical.

Quotable:

Chastity is the most unnatural of the sexual perversions.
