Bessie-isms:

*Many employers will treat you like a whore, acting as your pimp. They make a lot of money off your butt. But you put up with this; why? The real whores are probably better paid than you. That should bother you…

*We could argue forever about which sex is smarter, more responsible or more reasonable. But you men might as well concede one thing; women usually smell a lot nicer!

Quotable:

Live deep instead of fast.
