More quotes by Camille Paglia
Repression is an evolutionary adaptation permitting us to function under the burden of our expanded consciousness. For what we are conscious of could drive us mad.
Camille Paglia
Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It's part of the sizzle.
Camille Paglia
Today, the ideal male is the gay man and the ideal female is the worker female, the woman who can work in a coal mine just like all the other men.
Camille Paglia
As a major contemporary composer, Madonna should not let the eye dictate to the ear.
Camille Paglia
Sappho and Emily Dickinson are the only woman geniuses in poetic history.
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
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
The moral ambivalence of the great mother goddesses has been conveniently forgotten by those American feminists who have resurrected them. We cannot grasp nature's bare blade without shedding our own blood.
Camille Paglia
Art is something out of the ordinary commenting on the ordinary.
Camille Paglia
government has no business intervening in any consensual private behavior.
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
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.
Camille Paglia
I certainly derived my skills as a prose writer from my scrutiny of poetry and of the individual word. But schools don't do things like that anymore - tracking words down to their roots.
Camille Paglia
When in doubt, I read Oscar Wilde.
Camille Paglia
My political philosophy as a libertarian says that government has no business intervening in any consensual private behavior. My professional ethic as a thinker and writer, however, says that self-knowledge is our ultimate responsibility
Camille Paglia
Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
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
Male conspiracy cannot explain all female failures. I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant. Genius is not checked by social obstacles: it will overcome.
Camille Paglia
Poetry is the way into a spiritual vision of society and the universe.
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?
