Image
Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.
Camille Paglia
Image
What is Mona Lisa thinking? Nothing, of course. Her blankness is her menace and our fear. [...] Walter Pater is to call her a 'vampire,' coasting through history on her secret tasks.
Camille Paglia
Image
We need a new kind of feminism, one that stresses personal responsibility and is open to art and sex in all their dark, unconsoling mysteries. The feminist of the fin de si?cle will be bawdy, streetwise, and on-the-spot confrontational, in the prankish Sixties way.
Camille Paglia
Image
I regard it as a waste of time to think only of selling: one forgets one's art and exaggerates one's value.
Camille Pissarro
Image
American high schools have physically imprisoned young people, stripped them of civil liberties and fed them a diet of p.c. pap.
Camille Paglia
Image

Camille Pissarro

Straight men who visit prostitutes are valiantly striving to keep sex free from emotion, duty, family--in other words, from society, religion, and procreative Mother Nature.
Camille Paglia
Image
Every revolution eventually needs a new revolution.
Camille Paglia
Image
Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straight-shooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.
Camille Paglia
Image
Feminism is dead. The movement is absolutely dead. The women's movement tried to suppress dissident voices for way too long. There's no room for dissent.
Camille Paglia
Image
It's time for a recovery and reassessment of North American thinkers. Marshall McLuhan, Leslie Fiedler and Norman O. Brown are the linked triad I would substitute for Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, whose work belongs to ravaged postwar Europe and whose ideas transfer poorly into the Anglo-American tradition.
Camille Paglia
Image
There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
Camille Paglia
Image
It does not astonish me that the critics in London relegate me to the lowest rank. Alas! I fear that they are only too justified!
Camille Pissarro
Image
I want to experiment with new techniques and become a traditional baroque artist.
Camille Henrot
Image
What, then, is this blue sky, which certainly does exist, and which veils from us the stars during the day?
Camille Flammarion
Image
Imperialism and slavery are no white male monopoly, but are everywhere from Egypt, Assyria, and Persia to India, China and Japan.
Camille Paglia
Image
Sex is the point of contact between man and nature, where morality and good intentions fall to primitive urges.
Camille Paglia
Image
I hope with all my heart there will be painting in heaven.
Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot
Image
I think cultural appropriation has been an issue since the beginning of time and I think it's so important for us to tell our own stories and tell them the way we know how they're supposed to be told but also giving each other the exposure and access in order to do that.
Camille A. Brown
Image
My advice to the reader approaching a poem is to make the mind still and blank. Let the poem speak. This charged quiet mimics the blank space ringing the printed poem, the nothing out of which something takes shape.
Camille Paglia
Image
In a way, the political cartoon drawings are things that are small and have humor and a childhood aesthetic and are often stronger to spread an opinion.
Camille Henrot
Image
Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women's movement of the late 1960s and '70s.
Camille Paglia
Image
I am thirty-three - the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus an age fatal to revolutionists.
Camille Desmoulins
Image
Old school feminism, coveting social power, is blind to woman's cosmic sexual power.
Camille Paglia
