Love was love, one could find it with anyone, one could find it anywhere. It was just that you could never keep it. Not unless you were ready to die for it.

古本屋における久しぶりの大収穫
ノーマン・メイラー 「ぼく自身のための広告」
Norman Mailer - Advertisement for Myself, 1959
僕は、二十世紀の文学のあるものについて、生理的嫌悪を感ずるのは、自分に関心を持ちすぎるというのが、とても耐えられないのだ。ノーマン・メイラーの小説を読むと、なんでこの男はこんなに自分に興味を持っているのか。
『ぼく自身のための広告』 ね、あれなんか読んでも、なかにはずいぶんおもしろい部分もあるし、小説家としてすばらしい才能もあると思うが、こんなに自分のことばかり話す男はおれはきらいだと思うのだよ。
それは告白というものではなくて、告白よりもっと追いつめられたものだな。告白というものは、白鳥が一回叫ぶように、やはり一回だけ叫ぶのが告白だと思うけれどもね。ああ年中、自分のことに興味があっては、しょうがないと思うのだよ。
三島由紀夫 『対談集 源泉の感情』 より

Great hope has no real footing unless one is willing to face into the doom that may also be on the way.
