More quotes by 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.

Wearing earrings is not culture.

Rita Mae Brown

Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.
Rita Mae Brown
Unfortunately, Susan didn't remember what Jane Fulton once said, 'Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.
