More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
About all you can do in life is be who you are.
Rita Mae Brown
Sport strips away personality, letting the white bone of character shine through. Sport gives players an opportunity to know and test themselves. The great difference between sport and art is that sport, like a sonnet, forces beauty within its own system. Art, on the other hand, cyclically destroys boundaries and breaks free.
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
The only good thing ever done by a committee was the King James version.
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
Never hope for it more than you work for it.
Rita Mae Brown
I don't expect executives to be creative but I do expect them to have courage.
Rita Mae Brown
It's an act of faith to be a writer in a postliterate world.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain.
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
Never let anyone or any social attitude stand in the way of your productivity.
Rita Mae Brown
Familiarity breeds consent.
Rita Mae Brown
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
Creative people do not belong in the university because the process is antithetical to the analytical process so necessary for proper scholarship.
Rita Mae Brown
England is an aquarium, not a nation.
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
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
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
Rita Mae Brown
Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.
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.
