More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
To have meaningful work is a tremendous happiness.
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 you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain.
Rita Mae Brown
If you like my novels, I commend your good taste.
Rita Mae Brown
What's the point of prolonging your life if you don't enjoy it? It's your body. Do whatever you want with it. Better to wear out than rust over.
Rita Mae Brown
Cats and dogs believe politicians are like cemetery caregivers they are on top of everyone, but nobody listens.
Rita Mae Brown
I don't believe in straight or gay. I really don't. I think we're all degrees of bisexual.
Rita Mae Brown
Virginia Woolf said that writers must be androgynous. I'll go a step further. You must be bisexual.
Rita Mae Brown
Nothing is unnatural - just untried.
Rita Mae Brown
He tried to drown his troubles but they knew how to swim.
Rita Mae Brown
Lead me not into temptation I can find the way myself.
Rita Mae Brown
Life matters more than any painting, novel, film, or great big diamond.
Rita Mae Brown
Armies are dependent on youthful male ignorance.
Rita Mae Brown
Tennis, imprisoned within fixed boundaries, a patch of an acre, a green rectangle, tries the human soul. A tennis court is like a coffin, only larger.
Rita Mae Brown
Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe that we often disguise pain through ritual and it may be the only solace we have.
Rita Mae Brown
The only merciful thing about drug abuse is the speed with which it devastates you. Alcoholics can take decades to destroy themselves and everyone they touch. The drug addict can accomplish this in a year or two. Of course, suicide is even more efficient.
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
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
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.
