Roma (1972)

Gore Vidal: Gore Vidal

Quotes 

• Gore Vidal : Well, I suppose you're going to ask me that inevitable question: why do I live in Rome? You could say I live here because its so central - centrale. But, most of all, I like the Romans. They don't care if you live or die. They're like cats. And, of course, this is the city of illusions. It's a city, after all, of the church, of government, of movies. They're all makers of illusions. I'm one too.

• Gore Vidal : The last illusion is at hand. And what better place, than in this city which has died so many times and was resurrected so many times. Watch the real end through pollution, overpopulation. It seems to me the perfect place to watch if we end or not.
