Bessie-isms:

*A woman who is confident and self assured will make a man nervous, but he will desire her as he does no other.

*To possess the least sliver of hope, is to keep despair at bay. Only when the last tiny vestige of hope is gone, can despair enter in.

Quotable:

It takes your enemy and your friend, working together to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you, and the other to get the news to you.

Mark Twain
