The price of dishonesty is self-destruction.
Rita Mae Brown
Image
When the corpses are cleared no new order will emerge. Power, society, relationships, will descend in all their confusion on a new generation. The old, who started this conflagration, will retreat, worn out, the survivors and the young will continue the dance.

Sex is a pleasurable exercise in plumbing, but be careful or you'll get yeast in your drain tap.

Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - it's made for the losers.
Rita Mae Brown
Image
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.

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.

I think you can judge the level of success for any group of people by the reaction against it.

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
Image
many lesbians were so far in the closet they were in danger of being mistaken for garment bags.

So much of life is happenstance. It makes me laugh when I go to a bookstore and see all those titles about controlling your life. You're lucky if you can control your bladder.

Normal is the average of deviance.
