Divorce: fission after fusion.
Rita Mae Brown
Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.
Rita Mae Brown
Why marry a woman if you're going to betray her, and if you're going to betray her, why beat her? The fault is not hers ... I sometimes think the worst we do, we do behind closed doors.
Rita Mae Brown
No one remembers her beginnings. Mothers and aunts tell us about infancy and early childhood, hoping we won't forget the past when they had total control over our lives and secretly praying that because of it, we'll include them in our future.
Rita Mae Brown
Would it upset men if they found out we weren't different? Are we? Aren't we? Damned if I know.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
I don't think there is a 'gay lifestyle.' I think that's superficial crap, all that talk about gay culture. A couple of restaurants on Castro Street and a couple of magazines do not constitute culture. Michelangelo is culture. Virginia Woolf is culture. So let's don't confuse our terms. Wearing earrings is not culture.
Rita Mae Brown
Political elections are not life and death.
Rita Mae Brown
Two wrongs don't make a right. No, but three will get you back on the freeway!
Rita Mae Brown
Dying's not so bad. At least I won't have to answer the telephone.
Rita Mae Brown
Sex is a pleasurable exercise in plumbing, but be careful or you'll get yeast in your drain tap.
Rita Mae Brown
In sports, as in love, one can never pretend.
Rita Mae Brown
I don't expect executives to be creative but I do expect them to have courage.
