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.

More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
I believe that we often disguise pain through ritual and it may be the only solace we have.
Rita Mae Brown
Virginia Woolf said that writers must be androgynous. I'll go a step further. You must be bisexual.
Rita Mae Brown
No one remembers her beginnings. Mothers and aunts tell us about infancy and early childhood, hoping we won't forget the past when they had total control over our lives and secretly praying that because of it, we'll include them in our future.
Rita Mae Brown
[A pariah is] something like a martyr with more suffering and less class.
Rita Mae Brown
As a woman, I find it very embarrassing to be in a meeting and realize I'm the only one in the room with balls.
Rita Mae Brown
When God made man she was practicing.
Rita Mae Brown
I don't think there is a 'gay lifestyle.' I think that's superficial crap, all that talk about gay culture. A couple of restaurants on Castro Street and a couple of magazines do not constitute culture. Michelangelo is culture. Virginia Woolf is culture. So let's don't confuse our terms. Wearing earrings is not culture.
Rita Mae Brown
Life is unjust, people can be cruel, and yet if you harden your heart, you will lose what little love there is in this world.
Rita Mae Brown
Normal is the average of deviance.
Rita Mae Brown
So often the truth is told with hate, and lies are told with love.
Rita Mae Brown
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.
Rita Mae Brown
Nothing is unnatural - just untried.
Rita Mae Brown
In sports, as in love, one can never pretend.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain.
Rita Mae Brown
I have always been suspicious of romantic love. It looks too much like a narcissism shared by two.
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
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
I believe every change any word has undergone probably originated in ignorance.
Rita Mae Brown
So much of life is happenstance. It makes me laugh when I go to a bookstore and see all those titles about controlling your life. You're lucky if you can control your bladder.
Rita Mae Brown
