Bessie-isms:

*People feel stupid for admitting they don’t know something, but feel brilliant for pretending they know things that they don’t. I frankly have no idea how we ever got out of the dark ages.

*You hide your love for someone out of fear that they will reject you. Likely others are doing the same regarding you. You’re unloved from a lack of courage, not a lack of admirers.

Quotable:

Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repairing.
