The family in the West is finished... its origin was economic, not biological... the odd group of strangers that make up every family no longer have any reason to live together, to suffer from one another's jagged edges.

Realism has always been called cynicism.

Gore Vidal 500 quotes

I have always regarded as a s...

I have always regarded as a stroke of good fortune that I was not born or brought up in a small American town; they may be the backbone of the nation, but they are also the backbone of ignorance, bigotry, and boredom, all in vast quantities.

Gore Vidal 500 quotes

Actually, there is no such th...

Actually, there is no such thing as a homosexual person, any more than there is such a thing as a heterosexual person. The words are adjectives describing sexual acts, not people. The sexual acts are entirely normal; if they were not, no one would perform them.

How marvelous books are, crossing worlds and centuries, defeating ignorance and, finally, cruel time itself.

Once people get hung up on theology, they've lost sanity forever.

Gore Vidal 500 quotes

To speak today of a famous no...

The Puritans left England for America not because they couldn't be Puritans in their mother country, but because they were not allowed to force others to become Puritans; in the New World, of course, they could and did.

How to get people to vote against their interests and to really think against their interests is very clever. It's the cleverest ruling class that I have ever come across in history. It's been two hundred years at it. It's superb.

Gore Vidal 500 quotes

The same people own the media that own the White House that own the Congress that own the oil fields. They all work together to give a false view of the world to the American people.
