   Hi Dave. I greatly admire what you are doing. Keep it up!

   Thought you might like to know that you mistakenly have Gore Vidal saying: “I am myself a propagandist, a tremendous hater, a tiresome nag…” He actually wrote:

   I am at heart a propagandist, a tremendous hater, a tiresome nag, complacently positive that there is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise. Gore Vidal, in Preface to Visit to a Small Planet and Other Television Plays (1956)

   The entry above is from WRITERS–ON THEMSELVES AND THEIR WORK, a section of my online database: http://www.drmardy.com/dmdmq/w#writers_on_themselves_and_their_work

   All my best,

   Mardy

     Yikes! And, yes, there it is, right in the source material I linked to. Not sure if I goofed in transcribing it, or the original source I found it in had it wrong and I didn’t notice. Thanks for the update, and I’ve corrected the entry.

     (And thanks for your site, too — I enjoy your quotation work quite a bit, esp. the broader contexts you give to common phrases.)
