Famous quotes containing the words vidal and/or wrote:
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxys edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create one world. Instead of one world, we have star wars, and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planets dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my lifeI wrote this some years agothat were worth the postage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
