“The writer can grow as a person or he can shrink. ... His curiosity, his reaction to life must not diminish.

― Norman Mailer

“I don't think life is absurd. I think we are all here for a huge purpose. I think we shrink from the immensity of the purpose we are here for.”
― Norman Mailer

“The world of men and women are making merry in the cemetery grounds. They are having sexual intercourse, God bless them, and I am alone in the Land of Fuck.”
― Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn
