More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
To have meaningful work is a tremendous happiness.
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
Trouble is said to be good for an artist's soul but almost never is.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe that we often disguise pain through ritual and it may be the only solace we have.
Rita Mae Brown
When the corpses are cleared no new order will emerge. Power, society, relationships, will descend in all their confusion on a new generation. The old, who started this conflagration, will retreat, worn out, the survivors and the young will continue the dance.
Rita Mae Brown
Lead me not into temptation I can find the way myself.
Rita Mae Brown
Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.
Rita Mae Brown
The only good thing ever done by a committee was the King James version.
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
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
Virginia Woolf said that writers must be androgynous. I'll go a step further. You must be bisexual.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe all literature started as gossip.
Rita Mae Brown
Knowing Latin and having two years of Attic Greek gave me the strong foundation upon which I've built a career. I think the classical training, more than anything, has provided me with longevity.
Rita Mae Brown
My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share.
Rita Mae Brown
Political elections are not life and death.
Rita Mae Brown
I'm not a person who worries too much about what I've done.
Rita Mae Brown
About all you can do in life is be who you are.
Rita Mae Brown
Not until my middle thirties did I consider myself a novelist.
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.
Rita Mae Brown
...funny how people want a return to the good ole days. Of coarse the good ole days of being a rich white plantation owner. Everyone seems to forget the poor white farmer.
