More quotes by Gore Vidal
Sex was a great no-no for Americans, so that was obviously an attraction to the writers, and since sex is a great part of most people's lives, it's a great subject.
Gore Vidal
The problem with most Americans is that they don't like any question that takes more than ten seconds to answer.
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 human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.
Gore Vidal
The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent.
Gore Vidal
To bring into the world an unwanted human being is as antisocial an act as murder.
Gore Vidal
Everything's wrong on Wikipedia.
Gore Vidal
I'm in favor of sexual encounters.
Gore Vidal
Precocious talents mature slowly if at all.
Gore Vidal
We were to be forever at war with somebody. We were going to fight communism everywhere on earth even if it didn't threaten us. It was a holy war, just as we've made one on terrorism and Islam, equally stupid and equally irrelevant.
Gore Vidal
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.
Gore Vidal
Persuading the people to vote against their own best interests has been the awesome genius of the American political elite from the beginning.
Gore Vidal
In a nation that has developed to a high art advertising, the creator who refuses to advertise himself is immediately suspected of having no product worth selling.
Gore Vidal
One is sorry one could not have taken both branches of the road. But we were not allotted multiple selves.
Gore Vidal
Sex is a continuum. You go through different phases along life's way... and if you don't, you've been sort of cheated.
Gore Vidal
Next to I win, I told you so are the sweetest words.
Gore Vidal
The real writer learns nothing from life. He is more like an oyster or a sponge.
Gore Vidal
Television is now so desperately hungry for material that they're scraping the top of the barrel.
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’m not sentimental about anything. Life flows by, and you flow with it or you don’t. Move on and move out.
Gore Vidal
