Odd thing about death ... it reaffirms life.
Rita Mae Brown
I had to learn the image is not the word, which is a jolt for a literary soul. But it has served me well in terms of understanding plot, in terms of watching actors develop characters.
Rita Mae Brown
Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
Rita Mae Brown
There's a thin line between collectivity and chaos.
Rita Mae Brown
We have the ability to be the Athens of modern times as opposed to the militaristic Sparta. I remind you that the Athenians wrote poetry. The Spartans did not.
Rita Mae Brown
Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.
Rita Mae Brown
Mother believed in enjoying herself. Aunt Mimi believed in enjoying herself, then feeling guilty about it.
