Bessie-isms:

*You probably don’t wish to wear hand-me-down clothes, so why would you want hand-me-down dreams? The dreams foisted off on you by others tell you what they likely failed to achieve, not where you should be headed.

*No prison cell will ever confine you as tightly as the one constructed of your fears.

Quotable:

You’ll find in no park or city a monument to a committee.
