Bessie-isms:

*In the good old days people worked. Then they had jobs. Now people have careers. The name for toil keeps changing, but it still feels like servitude, doesn’t it?

*Mothers are always considered saints, unless they drown an unruly child in frustration. Then it depends on how terrible the child was, whether the term saint still applies.

Quotable:

Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so.

Bertrand Russell
