Bessie-isms:

*Your first love will always make an impression on you, good or bad. If it’s a bad one, don’t give up and make your first love your last love.

*Forgiving another does you a lot more good than it does them. Don’t lose sight of that!

Quotable:

Real books should be the offspring not of daylight abnd casual talk but of darkness and silence.

Marcel Proust
