Never have varmints, only grandvarmints.
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
I don't see us winning the war. We have made enemies of one billion Muslims.
Gore Vidal
What is a political party but a conspiracy?
Gore Vidal
People have forgotten the effects of prohibition. We have become the United Statesof Amnesia.
Gore Vidal
Truman Capote has made lying an art. A minor art.
Gore Vidal
If you're a critic of the rulers of the United States, you are either demonized, or you are trivialized by the press, and they do a very good job of making you into a non-person or a ridiculous person.
Gore Vidal

Gore Vidal
Poor John Simon - what a nightmare, to wake up in the morning and realize that you are John Simon.
Gore Vidal
Television is now so desperately hungry for material that they're scraping the top of the barrel.
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
The only absolute attainment is absolute abandonment.
Gore Vidal
Some of my father's fellow West Pointers once asked him why I turned out so well, his secret in raising me. And he said, I never gave him any advice, and he never asked for any. We agreed on nothing, but we never quarreled once.
Gore Vidal
We are the United States of Amnesia, we learn nothing because we remember nothing.
Gore Vidal
