Bessie-isms:

*”I love you,” coming from a child is more precious and worthy than hearing it from an adult. The child will never lie about such a thing. You can never be sure what an adult really feels.

*Life is ironic at times. The naughty, slutty daughter that drives you to despair, brings great joy to someone else’s child.

Quotable:

It is the same in love as in war; a fortress that parlays is half taken.

Marguerite De Valois
