I used to call [Count Basie] one of my lawyers. He would give me such
beautiful advice. And he would phrase that advice into these little
sayings. One saying of Count Basie's that I'll always remember pertains to
when my husband and I broke up. Basie said, It's just like a toothache. It
hurts now, but if you take that tooth out, you'll miss it but you'll feel
better.
-- Ella Fitzgerald
