Rita Mae Brown
I'm sorry that our country and the people do not consider the arts as vital to our well-being as, say, medicine. Suffering is unnecessary. It doesn't make you a better artist it only makes you a hungry one. However, to me the acquisition of the craft of writing was worth any amount of suffering.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
About all you can do in life is be who you are.
Rita Mae Brown
To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.
