More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
When Mother died I was both freed and abandoned, as are we all at this profound juncture in our lives.
Rita Mae Brown
Never hope for it more than you work for it.
Rita Mae Brown
Nothing is unnatural - just untried.

Never underestimate the power of self-absorption, including your parents' self-absorption.
Rita Mae Brown
Computer dating is fine, if you're a computer.
Rita Mae Brown
Whenever I doubt the existence of God or the Goddess, I look at horses. Only God could have made a horse.
Rita Mae Brown
Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.

Rita Mae Brown
People who care for you inevitably become beautiful.
Rita Mae Brown
Odd thing about death ... it reaffirms life.
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
To have meaningful work is a tremendous happiness.
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
I mean, what do people talk about when they're married? Their kids, I guess. Maybe that's all they have in common.
Rita Mae Brown
Dean: Don't you find that somewhat of an aberration? Doesn't this disturb you my dear? After all, it's not normal. Molly: I know it's not normal for people in this world to be happy, and I'm happy.
Rita Mae Brown
The price of dishonesty is self-destruction.
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
Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.
Rita Mae Brown
Lead me not into temptation I can find the way myself.
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.
