Book tours are like boot camp but with little sleep and less food.
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.

Tennis, imprisoned within fixed boundaries, a patch of an acre, a green rectangle, tries the human soul. A tennis court is like a coffin, only larger.
Rita Mae Brown
Consider the new woman. She's trying to be Pollyanna Borgia, clearly a conflict of interest. She's supposed to be a ruthless winner at work and a bundle of nurturing sweetness at home.
Rita Mae Brown
I earned two Emmy nominations for writing, and two of the shows I had written were nominated for best in their category.
Rita Mae Brown
Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
Rita Mae Brown
Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - it's made for the losers.
Rita Mae Brown
Trouble is said to be good for an artist's soul but almost never is.
Rita Mae Brown
Morals are private. Decency is public.
Rita Mae Brown
I don't want to die. I think death is a greatly overrated experience.
