I'm a professor of media studies as well as humanities, and I'm an evangelist of popular culture, but when there's only media, then there's going to be a slow debasement of language, and that's what I think we're fighting.

More quotes by Camille Paglia
When anything goes, it's women who lose.
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
Male urination really is a kind of accomplishment, an arc of transcendance. A woman merely waters the ground she stands on.
Camille Paglia
Old school feminism, coveting social power, is blind to woman's cosmic sexual power.
Camille Paglia
Is there intellectual life in America? At present, the answer is no.
Camille Paglia
The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism. Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
Camille Paglia
For me, the Profumo affair symbolizes the evanescence of male government compared to women's cosmic power.
Camille Paglia
Heaven help the American-born boy with a talent for ballet.
Camille Paglia
America is still a frontier country of wide open spaces. Our closeness to nature is one reason why our problem is not repression but regression our notorious violence is the constant eruption of primi-tiveness, of anarchic individualism.
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
Sex IS power. Identity is power. In western culture, there are no nonexploitative relationships. Everyone has killed in order to live.
Camille Paglia
The plastic surgery issue is really looming because girls in the U.S. are getting it in their teens.
Camille Paglia
Teenage boys, goaded by their surging hormones run in packs like the primal horde. They have only a brief season of exhilarating liberty between control by their mothers and control by their wives.
Camille Paglia
Minerva save us from the cloying syrup of coercive compassion!
Camille Paglia
Every month, it is woman's fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.
Camille Paglia
When feminism and gay activism set themselves against organized religion, they have the obligation to put something better in its place.
Camille Paglia
In insisting, for political purposes, on a sharp division between gay and straight, gay activism, like much of feminism, has become as rigid and repressive as the old order it sought to replace.
Camille Paglia
As a major contemporary composer, Madonna should not let the eye dictate to the ear.
Camille Paglia
I admire hard-bitten, wisecracking realism of Ida Lupino and the film noir heroines. I'm sick of simpering white girls with their princess fantasies.
Camille Paglia
Pregnancy demonstrates the deterministic character of woman's sexuality.
