More quotes by Gore Vidal
The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent.
Gore Vidal
On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.
Gore Vidal
There is no such thing as a true account of anything.
Gore Vidal
Before the cards that one is dealt by life are the cards that fate has dealt: one's family.
Gore Vidal
I started to read my first book at about the age of six. I started to write a book simultaneously. Not to compete, just to augment. And that's how one starts. Or I started.
Gore Vidal
CO₂ emissions anywhere threaten civilisation everywhere.
Gore Vidal

Gore Vidal
Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head.
Gore Vidal

Gore Vidal
I think we're going to have to accept the fact the U.S. is off the world map. We are not a great player any longer. And when we come home - as we will have to do because we've run out of money - we will discover that Argentine debts means Argentine politics. And on that note, you can wake up in the middle of the night.
Gore Vidal
I have no television to go on so I get a lot of writing done. That's my substitute for television.
Gore Vidal
Gentlemen are not supposed to tell the truth about their sex lives, nor are ladies, for that matter. Of course Clinton lied - as would anybody in his position.
Gore Vidal
Everybody is bisexual, and that is a fact of human nature. Some people practice both, and some practice one thing, and some people practice another thing and that is the way human beings are.
Gore Vidal
Terrorism is a metaphor, it's an abstract noun. It's like having a war on dandruff. It's something from advertising, it's meaningless.
Gore Vidal
I spend most of my time in California. I feel I am fueled by rage and by the political climate there. I am angry most of the time when I am there, which might be unbearable for someone else, but for me it's fuel for my writing.
Gore Vidal
Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little.
Gore Vidal
I’m not a conspiracy theorist - I’m a conspiracy analyst.
Gore Vidal
You can only have a war with another country. You can't have a war with bad temper or a war against paranoids.
Gore Vidal
It is not enough merely to win others must lose.
Gore Vidal
