{{cquote|There is no sex [in ''The Armies of the Night'']. In that sense, it's a nineteenth-century novel. It's courtly, it's deliberate, it's amused with its time and place.

I suppose it has the restrained merriment of the early nineteenth-century picaresque novel.|author=Norman Mailer |source=[[82.16]]}} | {{cquote|There is no sex [in ''The Armies of the Night''].
