More quotes by Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown
When the corpses are cleared no new order will emerge. Power, society, relationships, will descend in all their confusion on a new generation. The old, who started this conflagration, will retreat, worn out, the survivors and the young will continue the dance.
Rita Mae Brown
To have meaningful work is a tremendous happiness.
Rita Mae Brown
Sex is a pleasurable exercise in plumbing, but be careful or you'll get yeast in your drain tap.
