More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
A controller doesn't trust his/her ability to live through the pain and chaos of life. There is no life without pain just as there is no art without submitting to chaos.

Rita Mae Brown
whoever said progress was a positive thing has never been to Florida or California.
Rita Mae Brown
No one remembers her beginnings. Mothers and aunts tell us about infancy and early childhood, hoping we won't forget the past when they had total control over our lives and secretly praying that because of it, we'll include them in our future.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe every change any word has undergone probably originated in ignorance.
