More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
compromise is the work of mature people.
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 don't believe in straight or gay. I really don't. I think we're all degrees of bisexual.
Rita Mae Brown
I no longer idolize reason. I have come to accept that ninety percent of what we do is irrational and that we spend what little rational thought we have in justifying our irrationality.
Rita Mae Brown
Sex is a pleasurable exercise in plumbing, but be careful or you'll get yeast in your drain tap.
Rita Mae Brown
I am a comic writer, which means I get to slay the dragons, and shoot the bull.
Rita Mae Brown
Nothing is unnatural - just untried.
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
The human animal dances wildest on the edge of the grave.
Rita Mae Brown
If you're afraid to die, you're afraid to live. You can't have one without the other.
Rita Mae Brown
I have finally figured out that the purpose of life is to enjoy it.
Rita Mae Brown
Possession of a secret is no guarantee of its truth.
Rita Mae Brown
The only good thing ever done by a committee was the King James version.
Rita Mae Brown
Dying's not so bad. At least I won't have to answer the telephone.
Rita Mae Brown
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
Rita Mae Brown
Virginia Woolf said that writers must be androgynous. I'll go a step further. You must be bisexual.
Rita Mae Brown
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.
Rita Mae Brown
Femininity and masculinity are social constructs. Female and male are biological. We don't have to learn to be men or women but we do have to learn to be ladies and gentlemen.
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
Two wrongs don't make a right. No, but three will get you back on the freeway!
Rita Mae Brown
