There are four stages in a marriage. First there's the affair, then the marriage, then children and finally the fourth stage, without which you cannot know a woman, the divorce. (Norman Mailer) [03/12/2018 14:45:32] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

The war between being and nothingness is the underlying illness of the twentieth century. Boredom slays more of existence than war. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

There is one expanding horror in American life. It is that our long odyssey toward liberty, democracy and freedom-for-all may be achieved in such a way that utopia remains forever closed, and we live in freedom and hell, debased of style, not individual from one another, void of courage, our fear rationalized away.

I'm hostile to men, I'm hostile to women, I'm hostile to cats, to poor cockroaches, I'm afraid of horses. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Prevarication, like honesty, is reflexive, and soon becomes a sturdy habit, as reliable as truth. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I don't trust compliments. I've been getting them for years. Sometimes I deserve them, sometimes I didn't. But generally when people give you compliments there's one of two things wrong with them. Either they're false, or what's worse is they're sincere. They really mean the compliment. And then they're offering you their loyalty. And I'm kind of a stingy... Well, I don't necessarily want to give all that loyalty back. So either way, let's skip the compliments. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Women think of being a man as a gift. It is a duty. Even making love can be a duty. A man has always got to get it up, and love isn't always enough. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I was now at a university in New York, a professor of existential psychology with the not inconsiderable thesis that magic, dread, and the perception of death were the roots of motivation. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I met Jack Kennedy in November, 1946.... We went out on a double date and it turned out to be a fair evening for me. I seduced a girl who would have been bored by a diamond as big as the Ritz. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

When the wind carries a cry which is meaningful to human ears, it is simpler to believe the wind shares with us some part of the emotion of Being than that the mysteries of a hurricane's rising murmur reduce to no more than the random collision of insensate molecules.

No physical activity is so vain as boxing. A man gets into the ring to attract admiration. In no sport, therefore, can you be more humiliated. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

There's a subterranean impetus towards pornography so powerful that half the business world is juiced by the sort of half sex that one finds in advertisements. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Did a sense of shame ever reside in our Republican toadies? You can't stop people who are never embarrassed by themselves. Will's readiness to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse can be cited as world class sycophancy. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

You do not really wish to hear more of the Battle of Kadesh. Let me say only that human fat, gorged in considerable quantity, has an intoxicating effect. I became ... drunk. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Somerset Maugham ... wrote somewhere that "Nobody is any better than he ought to be."... I carried it along with me as a working philosophy, but I suppose that finally I would have to take exception to the thought ... or else the universe is just an elaborate clock.

The novelist ... must live in paranoia and seek to be one with the world; he must be terrified of experience and hungry for it; he must think himself nothing and believe he is superior to all. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

On a late-winter evening in 1983, while driving through fog along the Maine coast, recollections of old campfires began to drift into the March mist, and I thought of the Abnaki Indians of the Algonquin tribe who dwelt near Bangor a thousand years ago.

Love is simple to understand if you haven't got a mind soft and full of holes. It's a crutch, that's all, and there isn't any one of us that doesn't need a crutch. (Norman Mailer) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }
