More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
I don't believe in straight or gay. I really don't. I think we're all degrees of bisexual.
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
Whenever I doubt the existence of God or the Goddess, I look at horses. Only God could have made a horse.
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
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
Dean: Don't you find that somewhat of an aberration? Doesn't this disturb you my dear? After all, it's not normal. Molly: I know it's not normal for people in this world to be happy, and I'm happy.
Rita Mae Brown
[A pariah is] something like a martyr with more suffering and less class.
Rita Mae Brown
When Mother died I was both freed and abandoned, as are we all at this profound juncture in our lives.
Rita Mae Brown
A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
American hunting is quite different from English hunting because we don't hunt to kill. Even if I wanted to kill a fox, I couldn't. They're too smart and they have too many ways to escape me, whereas they don't in England.
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'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
Humor comes from self-confidence.
Rita Mae Brown
I have always been suspicious of romantic love. It looks too much like a narcissism shared by two.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe that we often disguise pain through ritual and it may be the only solace we have.
Rita Mae Brown
There's a thin line between collectivity and chaos.
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
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
Don't hope more than you're willing to work.
Rita Mae Brown
Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.
