Sex is a continuum. You go through different phases along life's way... and if you don't, you've been sort of cheated.

More quotes by Gore Vidal
The people are not stupid, but they are totally misinformed.
Gore Vidal
I'm not for real revolutions, because they always bring you the opposite of what you want. You very seldom get what you want if you have a violent revolution.
Gore Vidal
[Norman Mailer] is against masturbation, he's against homosexuality. He believes that murder is essentially sexual. I think he's rather an anthology of all the darkest American traits.
Gore Vidal
One's neighbor is always the enemy. That is the nature of things.
Gore Vidal
Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent.
Gore Vidal
Traitors who prevail are patriots usurpers who succeed are divine emperors.
Gore Vidal
You hear all this whining going on, Where are our great writers? The thing I might feel doleful about is: Where are the readers?
Gore Vidal
I suppose that one is always tempted to challenge those who think that they and they alone possess the truth or the way or the key to the mystery.
Gore Vidal
For the average American, freedom of speech is simply the freedom to repeat what everyone else is saying and no more.
Gore Vidal
Little Bush says we are at war, but we are not at war because to be at war Congress has to vote for it. He says we are at war on terror, but that is a metaphor, though I doubt if he knows what that means. It's like having a war on dandruff, it's endless and pointless.
Gore Vidal
There is no such thing as a true account of anything.
Gore Vidal
Truman Capote has made lying an art. A minor art.
Gore Vidal
Southerners make good novelists: they have so many stories because they have so much family.
Gore Vidal
I look into my own black heart.
Gore Vidal
There are two things you never turn down: sex and appearing on television.
Gore Vidal
I'm in favor of any form of sexual relationship that gives pleasure to those involved. And I have never heard a convincing argument to the contrary.
Gore Vidal
I said, well, it's a very primitive country, the United States, and it's full of superstitions, which come out of a very fundamental religious bias, which is primitive Christianity.
Gore Vidal
I find in most novels no imagination at all. They seem to think the highest form of the novel is to write about marriage, because that's the most important thing there is for middle-class people.
Gore Vidal
I have begun writing what I have said I'd never write, a memoir (I am not my own subject, I used to say with icy superiority).
Gore Vidal
It never occurred to any Enlightenment figure in the eighteenth century that law was not preferable to man.
Gore Vidal
