More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Life is too short to be miserable.
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
Two wrongs don't make a right. No, but three will get you back on the freeway!
Rita Mae Brown
I believe every change any word has undergone probably originated in ignorance.
Rita Mae Brown
The price of dishonesty is self-destruction.
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.
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
Lead me not into temptation I can find the way myself.
Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
Monogamy is contrary to nature but necessary for the greater social good.
Rita Mae Brown
compromise is the work of mature people.
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
I have finally figured out that the purpose of life is to enjoy it.
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
Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.
Rita Mae Brown
You can love more than one person at a time, and I don't give a damn what the self-help books say.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe all literature started as gossip.
Rita Mae Brown
... I distrust manifest knowledge.
Rita Mae Brown
Possession of a secret is no guarantee of its truth.
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
