Bessie-isms:

*Can you honestly watch children chasing fireflies without any trace of envy? Then your inner child has died.

*You dream of soaring, free and unrestrained, and curse the chains that hold you down. The jokes on you; either you put those chains on willingly, or someone else did, and you’ve refused to shrug them off!

Quotable:

Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.

John Stuart Mill
