Such sad news...the world will be a little bit less interesting without his intellect and outspokenness, and always his writing.

Passing of an Icon
...but he left us with so much, not the least of which some brutally honest (and often hilarious) one-liners:
"I never miss a chance to have sex or appear on television."
"I'm all for bringing back the birch, but only between consenting adults."
"In writing and politicking, it's best not to think about it, just do it."
"Write something, even if it's just a suicide note."
"It's not enough to succeed. Others must fail."
"Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."
"Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little."
"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."
..and perhaps most famous of all:
"A good deed never goes unpunished."
Good Journey, Mr. Vidal
