More quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.
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
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
If you're afraid to die, you're afraid to live. You can't have one without the other.
Rita Mae Brown
Sex is a pleasurable exercise in plumbing, but be careful or you'll get yeast in your drain tap.
Rita Mae Brown
I mean, what do people talk about when they're married? Their kids, I guess. Maybe that's all they have in common.
Rita Mae Brown
I no longer idolize reason. I have come to accept that ninety percent of what we do is irrational and that we spend what little rational thought we have in justifying our irrationality.
Rita Mae Brown
When God made man she was practicing.
