Famous quotes by Tom Wolfe:

"The bonfire of the vanities."

"At the outset, at least, all three groups had something else to recommend them, as well: They were headquartered 3,000 miles away from the East Side of Manhattan."

"A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested."

"It taught me a lesson, ... You can be denounced from the heavens, and it only makes people interested."

"Is not this the true romantic feeling - not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you?"

"Radical Chic, after all, is only radical in Style; in its heart it is part of Society and its traditions - Politics, like Rock, Pop, and Camp, has its uses."

"Not "Seeing is Believing," you ninny, but "Believing is Seeing." For modern art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text."

"We are now in the Me Decade - seeing the upward roll of the third great religious wave in American history."

"In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death."

"To a man of sixty... one of the grimmest reminders of the Reaper's approach comes when his doctors, the people who have attended to his body for decades, begin retiring on him... or dying on him... or both."

"I still believe nonfiction is the most important literature to come out of the second half of the 20th century."

"My entire career, in fiction or nonfiction, I have reported and written about people who are not like me."

"Nonfiction is never going to die."

"There has been a time on earth when poets had been young and dead and famous - and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone."

"Not long after I published my first book, I quickly found I was terrible at being interviewed."

"I've never met an American who wanted to build an empire."

"That's mostly what the Internet is, just passing the time. But unfortunately you are dealing with words that can have meaning."

"I'm a great believer in outlines."

"The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence."
