More quotes by Camille Paglia
The unhappy truth is that male homosexuality will never be fully accepted by the heterosexual majority, who are obeying the dictates not of bigoted society or religion but of procreative nature.
Camille Paglia
Running to Mommy and Daddy on the campus grievance committee is unworthy of strong women.
Camille Paglia
It's so tiring to make love to women, it takes forever. I'm too lazy to be a lesbian.
Camille Paglia
I do not believe in God, but I believe God is man’s greatest idea. Those incapable of religious feeling or those (like hard-core gay activists) who profane sacred ground do not have the imagination to educate the young. … Until the left comes to its senses about the cultural power of religion, the right will continue to broaden its appeal.
Camille Paglia
Butchery is not the point of vampirism. Sex - domination and submission - is.
Camille Paglia
Modernization means Westernization.
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
Imperialism and slavery are no white male monopoly, but are everywhere from Egypt, Assyria, and Persia to India, China and Japan.
Camille Paglia
Capitalism has its weaknesses. But it is capitalism that ended the stranglehold of the hereditary aristocracies, raised the standard of living for most of the world and enabled the emancipation of women.
Camille Paglia
Old school feminism, coveting social power, is blind to woman's cosmic sexual power.
Camille Paglia
There's something retro about your persona. It's like the pre-World War II generation of reporters - those unpretentious, working-class guys who hung around saloons and used rough language. Now they've all been replaced with these effete Ivy League elitists who swarm over the current media. Nerds - utterly dull and insipid.
Camille Paglia
Anti-religious sneers are a hallmark of perpetual adolescents.
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
[On U.S. universities:] The bland leading the bland.
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
I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society's care.
Camille Paglia
government has no business intervening in any consensual private behavior.
Camille Paglia
Men knew that if they devirginized a woman, they could end up dead within twenty-four hours. These controls have been removed.
Camille Paglia
Heterosexual love,. is in sync with cosmic forces. Not everyone has the stomach for daily war with nature.
Camille Paglia
Because I'm criticizing liberalism, people automatically call me a conservative. This is madness! The idea that somehow one cannot critique liberalism from the left, from the left wing of liberalism. I mean, how can people be so stupid?
