Political elections are not life and death.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
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
You can love more than one person at a time, and I don't give a damn what the self-help books say.
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
Not until my middle thirties did I consider myself a novelist.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
Rita Mae Brown
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
Rita Mae Brown
Class is much more than Marx's definition of relationship to the means of production. Class involved your behavior, your basic assumptions, how you are taught to behave, what you expect from yourself and from others, your concept of a future, how you understand problems and solve them, how you think, feel, act.
Rita Mae Brown
Why marry a woman if you're going to betray her, and if you're going to betray her, why beat her? The fault is not hers ... I sometimes think the worst we do, we do behind closed doors.
Rita Mae Brown
The real reason Milton went blind was to avoid reading unsolicited manuscripts.
Rita Mae Brown
Death is a greatly overrated experience. I hated Mother's and I'm not looking forward to my own. Apart from the sorrow there are the bills to be paid. Nobody dies for free.
Rita Mae Brown
We all want to leave our children the Garden of Eden and we wind up giving them hardscrabble.
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.
