Rita Mae Brown

Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.

Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.

Normal is the average of deviance.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I would certainly never suggest that any lesbian should be ashamed of her sexual preference.
