More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
The only merciful thing about drug abuse is the speed with which it devastates you. Alcoholics can take decades to destroy themselves and everyone they touch. The drug addict can accomplish this in a year or two. Of course, suicide is even more efficient.
Rita Mae Brown
I don't believe in straight or gay. I really don't. I think we're all degrees of bisexual.
Rita Mae Brown
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
Rita Mae Brown
I do think women avoid power. Power assumes responsibility and accountability, and I think many, many women want to have it both ways.
Rita Mae Brown
Life matters more than any painting, novel, film, or great big diamond.
Rita Mae Brown
All creatures tread across the rubble of ruined civilizations. The trick is to keep moving. No animal ever goes about dispensing shallow compassion.
Rita Mae Brown
I no longer idolize reason. I have come to accept that ninety percent of what we do is irrational and that we spend what little rational thought we have in justifying our irrationality.
Rita Mae Brown
Familiarity breeds consent.
Rita Mae Brown
I have always been suspicious of romantic love. It looks too much like a narcissism shared by two.
Rita Mae Brown
Morals are private. Decency is public.
Rita Mae Brown
Never underestimate the power of self-absorption, including your parents' self-absorption.
Rita Mae Brown
Death is a greatly overrated experience. I hated Mother's and I'm not looking forward to my own. Apart from the sorrow there are the bills to be paid. Nobody dies for free.
Rita Mae Brown
Normal is the average of deviance.
Rita Mae Brown
American hunting is quite different from English hunting because we don't hunt to kill. Even if I wanted to kill a fox, I couldn't. They're too smart and they have too many ways to escape me, whereas they don't in England.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Rita Mae Brown
Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.
Rita Mae Brown
He tried to drown his troubles but they knew how to swim.
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
To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.
Rita Mae Brown
