More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Dying's not so bad. At least I won't have to answer the telephone.
Rita Mae Brown
I'm not a person who worries too much about what I've done.
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
Possession of a secret is no guarantee of its truth.
Rita Mae Brown
Femininity and masculinity are social constructs. Female and male are biological. We don't have to learn to be men or women but we do have to learn to be ladies and gentlemen.
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 had to learn the image is not the word, which is a jolt for a literary soul. But it has served me well in terms of understanding plot, in terms of watching actors develop characters.
Rita Mae Brown
About all you can do in life is be who you are.
Rita Mae Brown
... I distrust manifest knowledge.
Rita Mae Brown
In sports, as in love, one can never pretend.
Rita Mae Brown
Armies are dependent on youthful male ignorance.
Rita Mae Brown
Divorce is the one human tragedy that reduces everything to cash.
Rita Mae Brown
Why marry a woman if you're going to betray her, and if you're going to betray her, why beat her? The fault is not hers ... I sometimes think the worst we do, we do behind closed doors.
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
Two wrongs don't make a right. No, but three will get you back on the freeway!
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
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
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Rita Mae Brown
Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - it's made for the losers.
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.
