Rita Mae Brown quotes about
bad experience good
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
love people
The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.
entertainment
Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.
assess great literary social work
I don't think you can ever assess your work. I don't think Turgenev could assess his any more than I can assess mine, and his didn't have a social impact as much as great literary impact.
bad experience good judgment
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
love life being-yourself
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.
mom long taught
One thing Mom taught me, "You're going to be dead a long time, so do it now!"
smart hunting way
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.
horse literature language
I love literature, the English language and storytelling. I also have thirty horses and seventy foxhounds to feed.
strong latin thinking
Knowing Latin and having two years of Attic Greek gave me the strong foundation upon which I've built a career. I think the classical training, more than anything, has provided me with longevity.
responsibility thinking accountability
I do think women avoid power. Power assumes responsibility and accountability, and I think many, many women want to have it both ways.
people aberration world
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.
life book writing
If you don't like my book, write your own. If you don't think you can write a novel, that ought to tell you something. If you think you can, do. No excuses. If you still don't like my novel, find a book you do like. Life is too short to be miserable. If you do like my novels, I commend your good taste.
dies ifs
If you're afraid to die, you're afraid to live. You can't have one without the other.
