More From Norman Mailer

If i get married, i think i'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. a newspaperman is a regular fellow.
Thinking Married Millionaire
It’s not enough to be able to lie with a straight face; anybody with enough gall to raise on a busted flush can do that. the first way to lie artistically is to tell the truth — but not all of it. the second way involves telling the truth, too, but is harder: tell the exact truth and maybe all of it…but tell it so unconvincingly that your listener is sure you are lying.
Sarcastic Lying Able
It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

I believe that prayer in public schools should be voluntary. it is difficult for me to see how religious exercises can be a requirement in public schools, given our constitutional requirement of separation of church and state. i feel that the highly desirable goal of religious education must be principally the responsibility of church and home. i do not believe that public education should show any hostility toward religion, and neither should it inhibit voluntary participation, if it does not interfere with the educational process.

For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.

It seems as though our ability to change technology happens so quickly, and our ability to evolve as creatures is still very slow.

Men are but children of a larger growth, our appetites as apt to change as theirs, and full as craving too, and full as vain.
