Bessie-isms:

*Some weeds are quite beautiful while some flowers are not so much. Who makes these arbitrary decisions? Should we all not be free to choose what is a flower or not on our own?

*Prejudices that are the result of experience or are learned by living are good. Ones passed to you with no consideration are mostly suspect and likely foolish.

Quotable:

Education has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
