More quotes by Rita Mae Brown

Wearing earrings is not culture.

Rita Mae Brown
Knowing Latin and having two years of Attic Greek gave me the strong foundation upon which I've built a career. I think the classical training, more than anything, has provided me with longevity.
Rita Mae Brown
I have always been suspicious of romantic love. It looks too much like a narcissism shared by two.
