More quotes by Gore Vidal
I regard monotheism as the greatest disaster ever to befall the human race.

Gore Vidal
Age bothers everybody. I was never narcissistic about my looks, but people thought that I should be so therefore I was.
Gore Vidal
A huge number of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. You have a people that don't know anything about the rest of the world, and you have leaders who lie to them, lie to them, and lie to them.
Gore Vidal
Write something, even if it's just a suicide note.
Gore Vidal
All in all, I would not have missed this century for the world.
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
Since nothing is free, to each his price.
