"I believe the true function of age is memory. I’m recording as fast as I can." ― Rita Mae Brown Topic(s): Age More From Rita Mae Brown "I became a lesbian because of women, because women are beautiful, strong, and compassionate." "Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television." "One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory." More In Age "If you start writing to an audience you’re talking down to them. I’ve never written for any age group, I just write character. If you can capture that you’ll get the audiences, and it will be a wide range, as it is for ‘Twilight,’ it’s a pretty wide range."― Melissa Rosenberg "The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age."― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Elizabeth Peyton, the artist known for tiny, dazzling portraits of radiant youth, is now painting tiny, dazzling portraits of radiant middle age."― Jerry Saltz
