More quotes by Gore Vidal
World events are the work of individuals whose motives are often frivolous, even casual.
Gore Vidal
All Americans born between 1890 and 1945 wanted to be movie stars.
Gore Vidal
Now the long-feared Asiatic colossus takes its turn as world leader, and we--the white race--have become the yellow man's burden.Let us hope that he will treat us more kindly than we treated him.
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
Gentlemen are not supposed to tell the truth about their sex lives, nor are ladies, for that matter. Of course Clinton lied - as would anybody in his position.
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
Envy is the central fact of American life.
Gore Vidal
No one reads novels anymore. And I don't see the situation improving. People prefer video games, reality TV, and films. There are so many reasons now not to read novels.
Gore Vidal
Who gives a damn about being remembered? That's really for amateurs.
Gore Vidal
Poor John Simon - what a nightmare, to wake up in the morning and realize that you are John Simon.
Gore Vidal
It is of no consequence to you what others think of you. What matters is what you think of them. That is how you live your life.
Gore Vidal
One is sorry one could not have taken both branches of the road. But we were not allotted multiple selves.
Gore Vidal
Some writers take to drink, others take to audiences.
Gore Vidal
Apparently, 'conspiracy stuff' is now shorthand for unspeakable truth.
Gore Vidal
Everybody is bisexual, and that is a fact of human nature. Some people practice both, and some practice one thing, and some people practice another thing and that is the way human beings are.
Gore Vidal
It never occurred to any Enlightenment figure in the eighteenth century that law was not preferable to man.
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
We are the United States of Amnesia, we learn nothing because we remember nothing.
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
I think we're going to have to accept the fact the U.S. is off the world map. We are not a great player any longer. And when we come home - as we will have to do because we've run out of money - we will discover that Argentine debts means Argentine politics. And on that note, you can wake up in the middle of the night.
Gore Vidal
