Gore Vidal:
I was supposed to go to Harvard, and I remember thinking all my friends from Exeter had gone to Harvard, and I'd been accepted. And then I thought, 'My God, I've been institutionalized all of my life.' And I thought, 'Oh, dear God, I'm not gonna go in for that.' So they said. 'How are you gonna live?' I said, 'Well, you know, I'm gonna write.' [imitates patronizing laughter]
