Mailer

Famous quotes containing the word mailer:

    Croft had an instinctive knowledge of land, sensed the stresses and torsions that had first erupted it, the abrasions of wind and water. The platoon had long ceased to question any direction he took; they knew he would be right as infallibly as sun after darkness or fatigue after a long march.
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    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.
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
