More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.
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
Odd thing about death ... it reaffirms life.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe in a lively disrespect for most forms of authority.
Rita Mae Brown
Armies are dependent on youthful male ignorance.
Rita Mae Brown
I think the reason I choose the comic approach so often is because it's harder, therefore affording me the opportunity to show off. Also, a comic vision is my natural world view, but I've grown up in spite of myself and I can pass the comic twist if it detracts from what the characters need. Yes, the life of a saint is hard.
Rita Mae Brown
Normal is the average of deviance.
Rita Mae Brown
About all you can do in life is be who you are.
Rita Mae Brown
Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.
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
I believe that we often disguise pain through ritual and it may be the only solace we have.
Rita Mae Brown
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
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
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
I am a comic writer, which means I get to slay the dragons, and shoot the bull.
Rita Mae Brown
Never let anyone or any social attitude stand in the way of your productivity.
Rita Mae Brown
Self-pity is the simplest luxury.
Rita Mae Brown
England is an aquarium, not a nation.
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 believe all literature started as gossip.
