More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
I believe in a lively disrespect for most forms of authority.
Rita Mae Brown
People are like tea bags you never know how strong they'll be until they're in hot water. In times of trouble, you not only discover what you truly believe but whether or not you can act on your beliefs.
Rita Mae Brown
We have the ability to be the Athens of modern times as opposed to the militaristic Sparta. I remind you that the Athenians wrote poetry. The Spartans did not.
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
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
compromise is the work of mature people.
Rita Mae Brown
Unfortunately, Susan didn't remember what Jane Fulton once said, 'Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.
Rita Mae Brown
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.
Rita Mae Brown
About all you can do in life is be who you are.
Rita Mae Brown
Would it upset men if they found out we weren't different? Are we? Aren't we? Damned if I know.
