Gore Vidal Quote of the Day V
“Without the idea of free will, the human race is of no interest at all; certainly, without the idea of free will there can be no literature. To watch Milton's Lucifer serenely overthrow the controlling intelligence of his writerly creator is an awesome thing.”
--Gore Vidal, “Lessing's Science Fiction,” The New York Review of Books, December 20, 1979
