Bessie-isms:
*Men much admire the blushing innocence of a young woman. Nowadays if you want innocence, you have to be hanging around girls under thirteen, and you know how bad that will end.
*The whore you revile and despise is someone’s daughter, maybe someone’s mother. She is surely God’s child, and unlike your sorry and judgmental ass, He will love her with no hesitation or reluctance in spite of her condition.
Quotable:
I do not desire that we be better strangers.
William Shakespeare
