More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
The only merciful thing about drug abuse is the speed with which it devastates you. Alcoholics can take decades to destroy themselves and everyone they touch. The drug addict can accomplish this in a year or two. Of course, suicide is even more efficient.
Rita Mae Brown
The price of dishonesty is self-destruction.
Rita Mae Brown
Mother believed in enjoying herself. Aunt Mimi believed in enjoying herself, then feeling guilty about it.

I've got splinters in my nose from the best publishing doors in town.
Rita Mae Brown
I'm sorry that our country and the people do not consider the arts as vital to our well-being as, say, medicine. Suffering is unnecessary. It doesn't make you a better artist it only makes you a hungry one. However, to me the acquisition of the craft of writing was worth any amount of suffering.
Rita Mae Brown
Life is too short to be miserable.
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.

A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
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
Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.
Rita Mae Brown
whoever said progress was a positive thing has never been to Florida or California.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
Today we live in a society suffering from ethical rickets.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
Whenever I doubt the existence of God or the Goddess, I look at horses. Only God could have made a horse.
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
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
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
Rita Mae Brown
