Empire City (1985)
Norman Mailer: Self
Quotes
-
Norman Mailer : When you put buildings that are huge and anonymous, with repellent surfaces and a lack of decoration, what you're saying is that the nature of power is that way, it's abstract, it's impersonal, it's immense, and you can't get near it. Now maybe that's always been the nature of power, much more than people have realized. Maybe there's a certain honesty in modern architecture. What it says is that we at the top don't give a damn about you at the bottom.
