Norman Mailer in his writings is ultimately more concerned with success than with danger; danger is only a means to success.

Success can make you go one of two ways - it can make you a prima donna, or it can smooth the edges, take away the insecurities, let the nice things come out.

People rarely succeed at anything unless they have fun doing it.

To succeed in the world, we must be foolish in appearance, but really wise.

There are some things we do simply because the doing is a success.

The worst part of success is to try to find someone who's happy for you.

... success is failure turned inside out.

Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.

The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much ... who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul ... who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.

An honest try is better than success.
