More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
I am a comic writer, which means I get to slay the dragons, and shoot the bull.
Rita Mae Brown
You can love more than one person at a time, and I don't give a damn what the self-help books say.
Rita Mae Brown
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
I do think women avoid power. Power assumes responsibility and accountability, and I think many, many women want to have it both ways.
Rita Mae Brown
Class is much more than Marx's definition of relationship to the means of production. Class involved your behavior, your basic assumptions, how you are taught to behave, what you expect from yourself and from others, your concept of a future, how you understand problems and solve them, how you think, feel, act.
Rita Mae Brown
Armies are dependent on youthful male ignorance.
Rita Mae Brown
Today we live in a society suffering from ethical rickets.
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
There's a thin line between collectivity and chaos.
Rita Mae Brown
Normal is the average of deviance.
Rita Mae Brown
Creative people do not belong in the university because the process is antithetical to the analytical process so necessary for proper scholarship.
Rita Mae Brown
Life matters more than any painting, novel, film, or great big diamond.
Rita Mae Brown
Never hope for it more than you work for it.
Rita Mae Brown
A controller doesn't trust his/her ability to live through the pain and chaos of life. There is no life without pain just as there is no art without submitting to chaos.
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 believe in a lively disrespect for most forms of authority.
Rita Mae Brown
All creatures tread across the rubble of ruined civilizations. The trick is to keep moving. No animal ever goes about dispensing shallow compassion.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Rita Mae Brown
I think the reason I choose the comic approach so often is because it's harder, therefore affording me the opportunity to show off. Also, a comic vision is my natural world view, but I've grown up in spite of myself and I can pass the comic twist if it detracts from what the characters need. Yes, the life of a saint is hard.
Rita Mae Brown
Oh well, maybe the only beauty left in cities is in the oil slicks on the road and maybe there isn't any beauty left in the people who live in these places.
Rita Mae Brown
