Bessie-isms:

*We hunger for beauty, but too often ignore all the forms of it except for the physical. This is tragic, for the deepest and most profound forms of beauty are deep within the human soul.

*Anyone can marry once. It takes a lot more optimism to marry twice, and three or more times requires a severe form of mental impairment, likely related to learning.

Quotable:

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

Friedrich  Nietzsche
