More quotes by Camille Paglia
The Devil is a woman.
Camille Paglia
In the theory of gender I began from zero. There is no masculine power or privilege I did not covet. But slowly, step by step, decade by decade, I was forced to acknowledge that even a woman of abnormal will cannot escape her hormonal identity.
Camille Paglia
It's patriarchal society that has freed me as a woman.
Camille Paglia
When in doubt, I read Oscar Wilde.
Camille Paglia
I am a very reclusive, private person.
Camille Paglia
Men, gay or straight, can get beauty and lewdness into one image. Women are forever softening, censoring, politicizing. ?
Camille Paglia
Feminism has become a catch-all vegetable drawer where bunches of clingy sob sisters can store their moldy neuroses.
Camille Paglia
Sappho and Emily Dickinson are the only woman geniuses in poetic history.
Camille Paglia
There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.
Camille Paglia
The only thing that will be remembered about my enemies after they're dead is the nasty things I've said about them.
Camille Paglia
Pregnancy demonstrates the deterministic character of woman's sexuality.
Camille Paglia
Any woman who stays with her abuser beyond the first incident is complicitous with him.
Camille Paglia
If men are obsolete, then women will soon be extinct -- unless we rush down that ominous Brave New World path where women clone themselves by parthenogenesis, as famously do Komodo dragons, hammerhead sharks, and pit vipers.
Camille Paglia
Feminism has tried to dismiss the femme fatale as a misogynist libel, a hoary cliche. But the femme fatale expresses woman's ancient and eternal control of the sexual realm. The specter of the femme fatale stalks all of men's relationships with women.
Camille Paglia
You have to accept the fact that part of the sizzle of sex comes from the danger of sex. You can be overpowered.
Camille Paglia
Lacan , Derrida and Foucault are the perfect prophets for the weak, anxious academic personality, trapped in verbal formulas and perennially defeated by circumstances. They offer a self-exculpating cosmic explanation for the normal professorial state of resentment, alienation, dithering passivity and inaction.
Camille Paglia
The airheads of Congress will keep their own plush healthcare plan - it's the rest of us guinea pigs who will be thrown to the wolves.
Camille Paglia
There is no gay leader anywhere near the stature of Martin Luther King, because black activism drew on the profound spiritual tradition of the church, to which gay political rhetoric is childishly hostile.
Camille Paglia
Daytime soap operas, which I used to adore, have been declining in quality and importance for over a decade, and I gradually stopped monitoring them.
Camille Paglia
The most successful prostitutes are invisible, because the sign of a prostitute's success is her absolute blending with the environment. She's so shrewd, she never becomes visible. She never gets in trouble. She has command of her life, and her clients.
