More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Trouble is said to be good for an artist's soul but almost never is.
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
I had to learn the image is not the word, which is a jolt for a literary soul. But it has served me well in terms of understanding plot, in terms of watching actors develop characters.
Rita Mae Brown
If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
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
I believe all literature started as gossip.
Rita Mae Brown
... I distrust manifest knowledge.

If you don't like my book, write your own.
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
The human animal dances wildest on the edge of the grave.
Rita Mae Brown
I think gay people are like blondes: There're fewer of them but they have more fun.
Rita Mae Brown
whoever said progress was a positive thing has never been to Florida or California.
Rita Mae Brown
Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.
Rita Mae Brown
Oppression works in such a way that it holds every person responsible for the acts of any wrongdoer of the oppressed group.
Rita Mae Brown
Seriousness is the refuge of the shallow. There are events and personal experiences that call forth seriousness but they are fewer than most of us think.
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
