More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
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
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
England is an aquarium, not a nation.
Rita Mae Brown
About all you can do in life is be who you are.
Rita Mae Brown
When God made man she was practicing.
Rita Mae Brown
American hunting is quite different from English hunting because we don't hunt to kill. Even if I wanted to kill a fox, I couldn't. They're too smart and they have too many ways to escape me, whereas they don't in England.
Rita Mae Brown
Cats and dogs believe politicians are like cemetery caregivers they are on top of everyone, but nobody listens.
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
Lead me not into temptation I can find the way myself.
Rita Mae Brown
Youth moves out, leaving no forwarding address. No matter how you try, you can't reach that person again or that place.
Rita Mae Brown
Armies are dependent on youthful male ignorance.
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
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
Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
Rita Mae Brown
I mean, what do people talk about when they're married? Their kids, I guess. Maybe that's all they have in common.
Rita Mae Brown
Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.
Rita Mae Brown
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.
Rita Mae Brown
Life matters more than any painting, novel, film, or great big diamond.
Rita Mae Brown
Divorce: fission after fusion.
