More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Never hope for it more than you work for it.
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
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
Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - it's made for the losers.
Rita Mae Brown
Book tours are like boot camp but with little sleep and less food.
Rita Mae Brown
I'm not a person who worries too much about what I've done.
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
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
If you're afraid to die, you're afraid to live. You can't have one without the other.
Rita Mae Brown
A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe in art that conceals art.
Rita Mae Brown
Divorce is the one human tragedy that reduces everything to cash.
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
Divorce: fission after fusion.
Rita Mae Brown
The human animal dances wildest on the edge of the grave.
Rita Mae Brown
To have meaningful work is a tremendous happiness.
Rita Mae Brown
Any woman whose I.Q. hovers above her body temperature must be a feminist.
Rita Mae Brown
Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.
Rita Mae Brown
As a woman, I find it very embarrassing to be in a meeting and realize I'm the only one in the room with balls.
Rita Mae Brown
Some people live life and others talk about it.
