From the age of 1 to 6 there is a small percentage that is exclusively homosexual, a small percentage heterosexual and there's a wide band in the middle of people who respond to various stimuli. A little bit here, a little more there.

More quotes by 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
It is not enough merely to win others must lose.
Gore Vidal
Don't ever make the mistake with people like me thinking we are looking for heroes. There aren't any and if there were, they would be killed immediately. I'm never surprised by bad behaviour. I expect it.
Gore Vidal
I regard monotheism as the greatest disaster ever to befall the human race. I see no good in Judaism, Christianity, or Islam - good people, yes, but any religion based on a single, well, frenzied and virulent god, is not as useful to the human race as, say, Confucianism, which is not a religion but an ethical and educational system.
Gore Vidal
We must declare ourselves, become known allow the world to discover this subterranean life of ours which connects kings and farm boys, artists and clerks. Let them see that the important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself.
Gore Vidal
Since no one can ever know for certain whether or not his own view of life is the correct one, it is absolutely impossible for him to know if someone else's is the wrong one.
Gore Vidal
The brain that doesn't feed itself, eats itself.
Gore Vidal
I'm in favor of sexual encounters.
Gore Vidal
I don't see us winning the war. We have made enemies of one billion Muslims.
Gore Vidal
One is sorry one could not have taken both branches of the road. But we were not allotted multiple selves.
Gore Vidal
There is no such thing as a true account of anything.
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
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
Gore Vidal
First coffee, then a bowel movement. Then the Muse joins me.
Gore Vidal
The whole point to American journalism is what ought to be true is true.
Gore Vidal
One's neighbor is always the enemy. That is the nature of things.
Gore Vidal
Nonprofit status is what created the Bible Belt. The tax code brought religion back to this country.
Gore Vidal
All I want is that Americans still be able to read the alphabet in a hundred years. I am not very ambitious.
Gore Vidal
To a born-again atheist like myself, it is clear that each of us has multiple selves, talents, perceptions. But to the Roman Catholic, unity is all.
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).
