More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
The real reason Milton went blind was to avoid reading unsolicited manuscripts.
Rita Mae Brown
Oh well, maybe the only beauty left in cities is in the oil slicks on the road and maybe there isn't any beauty left in the people who live in these places.
Rita Mae Brown
Some people live life and others talk about it.
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
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 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
... I distrust manifest knowledge.

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

Rita Mae Brown
Dean: Don't you find that somewhat of an aberration? Doesn't this disturb you my dear? After all, it's not normal. Molly: I know it's not normal for people in this world to be happy, and I'm happy.
Rita Mae Brown
Would it upset men if they found out we weren't different? Are we? Aren't we? Damned if I know.
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
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
I am a comic writer, which means I get to slay the dragons, and shoot the bull.
Rita Mae Brown
Love is the wild card of existence.
Rita Mae Brown
Dying's not so bad. At least I won't have to answer the telephone.
