Rita Mae Brown


1. “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.”
2. “A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one.”
3. “Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.”
4. “Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.”
5. ”Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.”
6. “If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle.”
7. “Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.”
8. "I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss."
"Language exerts hidden power, like a moon on the tides."
“Language is a road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.”
”Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself.”
“Morals are private. Decency is public.”
”The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.”
“To love without rule, without power plays, is revolution.”
“Writers will happen in the best of families.”
“You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners.”
