More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
Rita Mae Brown
In sports, as in love, one can never pretend.
Rita Mae Brown
I am a comic writer, which means I get to slay the dragons, and shoot the bull.
Rita Mae Brown
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.
Rita Mae Brown

Sport strips away personality, letting the white bone of character shine through. Sport gives players an opportunity to know and test themselves. The great difference between sport and art is that sport, like a sonnet, forces beauty within its own system. Art, on the other hand, cyclically destroys boundaries and breaks free.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe in art that conceals art.
Rita Mae Brown
To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.
Rita Mae Brown
Any woman whose I.Q. hovers above her body temperature must be a feminist.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe in a lively disrespect for most forms of authority.
