" All in all,

 I would not have

 missed 

this century 

for the world.  "

Gore Vidal

" As societies grow decadent, 

the language grows decadent,

 too. 

Words are used to 

disguise,

 not to illuminate, 

action: you liberate a city 

by destroying it. 

Words are to confuse, 

so that at election time 

people will solemnly vote 

against their own 

interests. "

 
Gore Vidal

" I never miss a chance 

to have sex 

or appear

 on television. "

" Many writers 

who choose to be 

active in the world 

 lose not virtue 

but time, 

and that

 stillness 

without which 

literature 

cannot be made.  "

Gore Vidal

 " One is sorry 

one could not have taken

 both branches

 of the road. 

But we were not allotted 

multiple selves.  "

Gore Vidal

Thank YOU

for looking in!
