Mailer

Famous quotes containing the word mailer:

    At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    The Irish are the only men who know how to cry for the dirty polluted blood of all the world.
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
