More quotes by Camille Paglia
Your life is a Fellini film, lacking only Anita Ekberg with a cat on her head.
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
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
Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
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
Poetry is the way into a spiritual vision of society and the universe.
Camille Paglia
[On U.S. universities:] The bland leading the bland.
Camille Paglia
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
Science is a method of logical analysis of nature's operations. It has lessened human anxiety about the cosmos by demonstrating the materiality of nature's forces, and their frequent predictability.
Camille Paglia
If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
Camille Paglia

Camille Paglia
The reform of a college English department cuts no ice down at the corner garage.
Camille Paglia
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!
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
When feminism and gay activism set themselves against organized religion, they have the obligation to put something better in its place.
Camille Paglia
I realize now how lucky I was, in the total absence of role models, to have only men to rebel against. Today's women students are meeting their oppressors in dangerously seductive new form, as successful congenial female professors who view themselves as victims of a rigid foreign ideology.
Camille Paglia
Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.
Camille Paglia
Art is something out of the ordinary commenting on the ordinary.
Camille Paglia
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.
Camille Paglia
All men even, I have written, Jesus Christ began as flecks of tissue inside a woman's womb. Every boy must stagger out of the shadow of a mother goddess, whom he never fully escapes.
Camille Paglia
