“La revolución feminista ha convertido a la mujer en ese tipo de hombre que a mí me entristecía cuando era joven, ese que tenía que trabajar de nueve a cinco de manera aburrida y nunca era dueño de su destino. Ahí es donde acabó su revolución, su asalto al poder.”

Norman Mailer

“Hay una ley de vida, cruel y exacta, que afirma que uno debe crecer o, en caso contrario, pagar más por seguir siendo el mismo.”

“La masculinidad no es algo que te es dado, sino algo que consigues. Y lo consigues ganando con honor pequeñas batallas. Puesto que queda muy poco honor en la vida norteamericana, hay incorporada una innegable tendencia a destruir la masculinidad en los hombres norteamericanos.”

Norman Mailer

Idioma original: «Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor. Because there is very little honor left in American life, there is a certain built-in tendency to destroy masculinity in American men».
Fuente: [Mailer, Norman, Cannibals and Christians, Dial, 1966, Nueva York].

“Encuentro que, ahora que las mujeres han alcanzado algo de poder y reconocimiento, son muy parecidas a los varones en cada estupidez y vicio y error por los que hemos pasado a lo largo de la historia. Ellas son de mente estrecha, buscan el poder, incapaces de reconocer el placer de una buena discusión. El movimiento feminista está lleno de tiranas, tal como están llenos de hombres tiranos los movimientos políticos. Lo que he llegado a descubrir son los lados negativos, que las mujeres no son mejores que los varones. Solía pensar — esto es sexismo de algún modo, lo reconozco — que las mujeres eran mejor que los varones. Ahora me doy cuenta de que no, que no son mejores para nada.”

Norman Mailer

Idioma original: «I find now that women have achieved some power and recognition they are quite the equal of men in every stupidity and vice and misjudgment that we've exercised through history. They're narrow-minded, power seeking, incapable of recognizing the joys of a good discussion. The women's movement is filled with tyrants, just as men's political movements are equally filled. What I've come to discover are the negative sides, that women are no better than men. I used to think — this is sexism in a way, I'll grant it — that women were better than men. Now I realize no, they're not any better». <br class="br">Fuente: Entrevista titulada "His Punch Is Better Than Ever", por Bonnie Angelo en revista TIME. <br class="br">Fuente: His Punch Is Better Than Ever, 28 de junio, 2015, Angelo, Bonnie, 30 de septiembre de 1991, Revista TIME, inglés http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,973925,00.html,

Norman Mailer libro Advertisements for Myself

"First Advertisement for Myself"
Advertisements for Myself (1959)

“I never saw love as luck, as that gift from the gods which put everything else in place, and allowed you to succeed. No, I saw love as reward. One could find it only after one's virtue, or one's courage, or self-sacrifice, or generosity, or loss, has succeeded in stirring the power of creation.”

Harry Hubbard, in Harlot's Ghost : A Novel (1991)

“I certainly do have this feeling of affection for the absolute sense of intellectual freedom that exists as a live nerve, a live wire, right through the center of American life. … Every time I get totally discouraged with this country, I remind myself, "No, the fact is that finally we can really say what we think, and some extraordinary things have come out of that."”

“Hitler … was a hero, the hero-as-monster, embodying what had become the monstrous fantasy of a people, but the horror upon which the radical mind and liberal temperament foundered was that he gave outlet to the energies of the Germans and so presented the twentieth century with an index of how horrible had become the secret heart of its desire.”

Interview for French TV (1998)
