Quote by Gore Vidal (1925-2012)

• Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.

• There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.

• Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn.

• It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

• Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players. … I have 10 or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.

• Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either.
