More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.
Rita Mae Brown
Some people live life and others talk about it.
Rita Mae Brown
I'm sorry that our country and the people do not consider the arts as vital to our well-being as, say, medicine. Suffering is unnecessary. It doesn't make you a better artist it only makes you a hungry one. However, to me the acquisition of the craft of writing was worth any amount of suffering.
Rita Mae Brown
In sports, as in love, one can never pretend.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown

Dean: Don't you find that somewhat of an aberration? Doesn't this disturb you my dear? After all, it's not normal. Molly: I know it's not normal for people in this world to be happy, and I'm happy.
Rita Mae Brown
To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.
Rita Mae Brown
Youth moves out, leaving no forwarding address. No matter how you try, you can't reach that person again or that place.
Rita Mae Brown
Self-pity is the simplest luxury.
Rita Mae Brown
Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn't breaking. It hurts because it's getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe all literature started as gossip.
Rita Mae Brown
We all want to leave our children the Garden of Eden and we wind up giving them hardscrabble.
Rita Mae Brown
Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
Rita Mae Brown
Don't hope more than you're willing to work.
Rita Mae Brown
