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
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.
Rita Mae Brown
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
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
It's an act of faith to be a writer in a postliterate world.
Rita Mae Brown
