You have the right to speak your mind.
Norman Mailer

Harsh words live in the dungeon of the heart
Norman Mailer
Along with all else, Sandman is a comic strip for intellectuals, and I say it's about time.
Norman Mailer
There are four stages to marriage. First there's the affair, then there's the marriage, then children, and finally the fourth stage, without which you cannot know a woman, the divorce.
