His notorious essay 'The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster' (1956) was originally published in Dissent and reprinted in ADVERTISEMENTS FOR MYSELF (1959). Mailer examined violence, hysteria, crimes and confusion in American society through the fashionable existentialist framework, which owes much to Jean Genet. Mailer defined the hipster as a philosophical psychopath, and urban adventurer, who has adopted elements from black culture and could be called "a White Negro". To become a hipster is a conscious choice for members of the intellectual élite. However, the black man knows the art of the primitive "in the cells of his existence", and is forced to accept the moral wilderness of civilized life, condemned by "the Square". "But the Negro, not being privileged to gratify his self-esteem with the heady satisfaction of categorical condemnation, chose to move instead in that other direction where all situations are equally valid, and in the worst of perversion, promiscuity, pimpery, drug addiction, rape, razor-slash, bottle-break, what-have-you, the Negro discovered and elaborated a morality of the bottom, an ethical differentiation between the good and the bad in every human activity from the go-getter pimp (as opposed to the lazy one) to the relatively dependable pusher or prostitute.""Sometimes it helps to think of a love affair like a game of cards. We each are dealt with five cards, only in this case, they are made of fine brown glass and are incredibly brittle. As we get closer and more trusting, we show more and more of our hand by putting down a card at a time, knowing that it’s all a gamble. One day, the love affair ends and the cards are swept off the table and shatter. And all we want are the cards back intact. When the whole point in the first place was to play a game of cards…"

"It has often been said that an artist should work for himself, for the love of art, and scorn success. It is a false idea. An artist needs success. Not only in order to live, but primarily so that he can realize his work ... The majority judges a work of art in relation to its success. So why leave success to 'successful [artists]'? Each generation has them. But where is it written that success must always go to those who flatter the public taste?"
"A good artist borrows, a great artist steals."
-Pablo Picasso
