wrote Mailer in "The Armies of the Night," "... felt as if he were a solid embodiment of bone, muscle, heart, mind, and sentiment to be a man, as if he had arrived."
میلر در کتاب "لشکریان شب" نوشته است٬ "...حس کرد که تجسمی بود از استخوان٬ گوشت٬ قلب٬ ذهن٬ و احساس آنکه مردی باشد٬ مثل اینکه رسیده بود."
