Rita Mae Brown
It's an act of faith to be a writer in a postliterate world.
Rita Mae Brown
I'm sorry that our country and the people do not consider the arts as vital to our well-being as, say, medicine. Suffering is unnecessary. It doesn't make you a better artist it only makes you a hungry one. However, to me the acquisition of the craft of writing was worth any amount of suffering.
Rita Mae Brown
Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.
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
We all want to leave our children the Garden of Eden and we wind up giving them hardscrabble.
Rita Mae Brown
Not until my middle thirties did I consider myself a novelist.
Rita Mae Brown
Lead me not into temptation I can find the way myself.
Rita Mae Brown
Never underestimate the power of self-absorption, including your parents' self-absorption.
