More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Don't hope more than you're willing to work.
Rita Mae Brown
Consider the new woman. She's trying to be Pollyanna Borgia, clearly a conflict of interest. She's supposed to be a ruthless winner at work and a bundle of nurturing sweetness at home.
Rita Mae Brown
Writers will happen in the best of families.
Rita Mae Brown
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
Rita Mae Brown
Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
Rita Mae Brown
I have changed my definition of tragedy. I now think tragedy is not foul deeds done to a person (usually noble in some manner) but rather that tragedy is irresolvable conflict.
Rita Mae Brown
Nothing is unnatural - just untried.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
It's an act of faith to be a writer in a postliterate world.
Rita Mae Brown
whoever said progress was a positive thing has never been to Florida or California.
Rita Mae Brown
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.
Rita Mae Brown
Humor comes from self-confidence.
Rita Mae Brown
In sports, as in love, one can never pretend.
Rita Mae Brown
A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
Life is too short to be miserable.
Rita Mae Brown
The writer's job is not to write a novel, hold it up and say, “Here I am,” but to write a novel, hold it up and say, “Here YOU are.
Rita Mae Brown
If you like my novels, I commend your good taste.
Rita Mae Brown
Possession of a secret is no guarantee of its truth.
Rita Mae Brown
There's a thin line between collectivity and chaos.
Rita Mae Brown
Would it upset men if they found out we weren't different? Are we? Aren't we? Damned if I know.
Rita Mae Brown
