More quotes by 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
Familiarity breeds consent.
Rita Mae Brown
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.
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
Death is a greatly overrated experience. I hated Mother's and I'm not looking forward to my own. Apart from the sorrow there are the bills to be paid. Nobody dies for free.
Rita Mae Brown
Morals are private. Decency is public.
Rita Mae Brown
Love is the wild card of existence.
Rita Mae Brown
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.

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
Youth moves out, leaving no forwarding address. No matter how you try, you can't reach that person again or that place.
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
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
I earned two Emmy nominations for writing, and two of the shows I had written were nominated for best in their category.
Rita Mae Brown
Never let anyone or any social attitude stand in the way of your productivity.
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
I've got splinters in my nose from the best publishing doors in town.
Rita Mae Brown
A controller doesn't trust his/her ability to live through the pain and chaos of life. There is no life without pain just as there is no art without submitting to chaos.
Rita Mae Brown
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Rita Mae Brown
I think gay people are like blondes: There're fewer of them but they have more fun.
Rita Mae Brown
I have always been suspicious of romantic love. It looks too much like a narcissism shared by two.
