The idea that emotion can be separated from sex is a Christian illusion, one of the most ingenious but finally unworkable strategies in Christianity's ancient campaign against pagan nature.

All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!

It's so tiring to make love to women, it takes forever. I'm too lazy to be a lesbian.
Camille Paglia
Image
We should teach general ethics to both men and women, but sexual relationships themselves must not be policed. Sex, like the city streets, would be risk-free only in totalitarian regimes.

Not until all babies are born from glass jars will the combat cease between mother and son.
Camille Paglia
Image
Society is a system of inherited forms reducing our humiliating passivity to nature. We may alter these forms, slowly or suddenly, but no change in society will change nature.
Camille Paglia
Image
In sex, man is driven into the very abyss which he flees. He makes a voyage to non-being and back.

Your life is a Fellini film, lacking only Anita Ekberg with a cat on her head.

I cannot be convinced that great artists are moralists. Art is first appearances, then meaning.

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.
