Rita Mae Brown
Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn't breaking. It hurts because it's getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.
Rita Mae Brown
Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.
Rita Mae Brown
So much of life is happenstance. It makes me laugh when I go to a bookstore and see all those titles about controlling your life. You're lucky if you can control your bladder.
Rita Mae Brown
If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
Rita Mae Brown
When Mother died I was both freed and abandoned, as are we all at this profound juncture in our lives.
Rita Mae Brown
In sports, as in love, one can never pretend.
Rita Mae Brown
As a woman, I find it very embarrassing to be in a meeting and realize I'm the only one in the room with balls.
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.
Rita Mae Brown
