Gore Vidal
A superficial education would be worse than none. But a full education would open every man's eyes to the nature of human existence.
Gore Vidal
I have been saying for the some time now that America has only one party - the property party. It's the party of big corporation, the party of money. It has two right wings one is Democrat and the other is Republican.
Gore Vidal
Before the cards that one is dealt by life are the cards that fate has dealt: one's family.
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
What is a political party but a conspiracy?
Gore Vidal
