More quotes by Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
Dying's not so bad. At least I won't have to answer the telephone.
Rita Mae Brown
Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn't breaking. It hurts because it's getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.
Rita Mae Brown
We all want to leave our children the Garden of Eden and we wind up giving them hardscrabble.
Rita Mae Brown
Computer dating? It's terrific if you're a computer!
Rita Mae Brown
Consider the new woman. She's trying to be Pollyanna Borgia, clearly a conflict of interest. She's supposed to be a ruthless winner at work and a bundle of nurturing sweetness at home.
Rita Mae Brown
many lesbians were so far in the closet they were in danger of being mistaken for garment bags.
