More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
The real reason Milton went blind was to avoid reading unsolicited manuscripts.
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
Consider the new woman. She's trying to be Pollyanna Borgia, clearly a conflict of interest. She's supposed to be a ruthless winner at work and a bundle of nurturing sweetness at home.
Rita Mae Brown
Normal is the average of deviance.
Rita Mae Brown
Political elections are not life and death.
Rita Mae Brown
It's an act of faith to be a writer in a postliterate world.

Some people live life and others talk about it.
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
People are like tea bags you never know how strong they'll be until they're in hot water. In times of trouble, you not only discover what you truly believe but whether or not you can act on your beliefs.
Rita Mae Brown
I have changed my definition of tragedy. I now think tragedy is not foul deeds done to a person (usually noble in some manner) but rather that tragedy is irresolvable conflict.
Rita Mae Brown
Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
Rita Mae Brown
If you like my novels, I commend your good taste.
Rita Mae Brown
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
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
Monogamy is contrary to nature but necessary for the greater social good.
