More quotes by Gore Vidal
The U.S. Bill of Rights is being steadily eroded, with two million telephone calls tapped, 30 million workers under electronic surveillance, and, says the author, countless Americans harassed by a government that wages spurious wars against drugs and terrorism.
Gore Vidal
A talent for drama is not a talent for writing, but is ability to articulate human relationships.
Gore Vidal
The Gores, I think, are a bit brighter than the Bushes, historically speaking.
Gore Vidal
Ultimately, totalitarianism is the only sort of politics that can truly serve the sky-god's purpose. Any movement of a liberal nature endangers his authority and that of his delegates on earth. One God, one King, one Pope, one master in the factory, one father-leader in the family at home.
Gore Vidal
When you control opinion, as corporate America controls opinion in the United States by owning the media, you can make the masses believe almost anything you want, and guide them as you please.
Gore Vidal
Most writers write books that they wouldn't read. I ought to know I've done it myself.
Gore Vidal
The unfed mind devours itself.
Gore Vidal
The real writer learns nothing from life. He is more like an oyster or a sponge.
Gore Vidal
The United States is my subject, but as Hawthorne once wrote, the United States are suited for many admirable purposes, but not to live in.
Gore Vidal
Never offend an enemy in a small way.
Gore Vidal
France is a nation devoted to the false hypothesis on which it then builds marvelously logical structures.
Gore Vidal
Come to me and show me a small cancer and I'll tell you you've got a small cancer that should be cut out. That's realism but in America it's called cynicism.
Gore Vidal
In America, the race goes to the loud, the solemn, the hustler. If you think you're a great writer, you must say that you are.
Gore Vidal
Liberal comes from the Latin liberalis, which means pertaining to a free man. In politics, to be liberal is to want to extend democracy through change and reform. One can see why that word had to be erased from our political lexicon.
Gore Vidal
You see we adults have learned how to disguise our terrible characters but a child... well, it's like a grotesque drawing of us. They should be neither seen nor heard. And no one must make another one.
Gore Vidal
I like Italy. I was always at home there, it's a marvelous place to become invisible. Nobody bothers you and nobody is interested in you and I find that very good for work.
Gore Vidal
The first TV babies are now writing with a TV mind that has no attention span at all.
Gore Vidal
Everything's wrong on Wikipedia.
Gore Vidal
In matters of faith, inconvenient evidence is always suppressed while contradictions go unnoticed.
Gore Vidal
...you will do more harm than good by attempting to supplant old dogmas and customs with new dogmas. It will be the same in the end except that the old is less militant, less dangerous than a new order imposed by enthusiasts.
Gore Vidal
