More quotes by Camille Paglia
Pornography is human imagination in tense theatrical action its violations are a protest against the violations of our freedom by nature.
Camille Paglia
Sex is the point of contact between man and nature, where morality and good intentions fall to primitive urges.
Camille Paglia
Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It's part of the sizzle.
Camille Paglia
We will never get great art from women if their education exposes them only to the second-rate and if the idea of greatness itself is denied. Greatness is not a white male trick. Every important world civilization has defined its artistic tradition in elitist terms of distinction and excellence.
Camille Paglia
government has no business intervening in any consensual private behavior.
Camille Paglia
There is a constant rush to judgment in Foucault. He is filled with specious generalizations, false categories, distortions, fudging, pretenses to knowledge in areas where he was ignorant. He had no ability whatsoever to distinguish among historical sources, where he makes terrible blunders.
Camille Paglia
Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.
Camille Paglia
Leaving sex to the feminists is like letting your dog vacation at the taxidermist.
Camille Paglia
Our liberal, New York/Washington-based media would never in a million years put Liberal Godfather Ted Kennedy on the spot about his clan's bad behavior, to whose lurid history he himself has contributed so much.
Camille Paglia
Despite crime's omnipresence, things work in society, because biology compels it. Order eventually restores itself, by psychic equilibrium.
Camille Paglia
Heaven help the American-born boy with a talent for ballet.
Camille Paglia
Over the past 20 years, I have noticed that the most flexible, dynamic, inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which, like it or not, is modern reality.
Camille Paglia
Capitalism is an art form.
Camille Paglia
My argument has always been that nature has a master plan pushing every species toward procreation and that it is our right and even obligation as rational human beings to defy nature's fascism. Nature herself is a mass murderer, making casual, cruel experiments and condemning 10,000 to die so that one more fit will live and thrive.
Camille Paglia
Homeric mind is ingenuity, practical intelligence. There is no Rodin-like deep thinking, no mathematical or philosophical speculation. Odysseus thinks with his hands.
Camille Paglia
When anything goes, it's women who lose.
Camille Paglia
Lesbian feminists, for all their ideals of sisterhood and solidarity, can treat each other with a fickleness, a parasitic exploitativeness, and vicious spite that have to be seen to be believed.
Camille Paglia
Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
Camille Paglia
[On Hollywood:] America's greatest achievement.
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.
