QUOTES BY Rita Brown

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you.

I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself.

Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn't breaking. It hurts because it's getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.

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.

One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

When I got [my] library card, that was when my life began.

The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.

If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

Loving's pretty easy. It's letting someone love you that's hard.

Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself.
