Additional quotes by Norman Mailer

Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation.

I won't stay in
with married men
any more
said the wise girl

it's a little too much
like curling
up
with the good book.

good book
