Connoisseur of Decline,

A  L  O  H  A !

" 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. "
 
Gore Vidal
















Common Waxbill
" 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!

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