Art is something out of the ordinary commenting on the ordinary.
Camille Paglia
Image
When feminism and gay activism set themselves against organized religion, they have the obligation to put something better in its place.
Camille Paglia
Image
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
Image
Once you have become the centre of a conflict in a complex governmental enterprise you have the obligation to resign.
Camille Paglia
Image
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
Image
Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.
Camille Paglia
Image
We should teach general ethics to both men and women, but sexual relationships themselves must not be policed. Sex, like the city streets, would be risk-free only in totalitarian regimes.

Image
Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straight-shooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.

A lesser complaint: hair extensions. There are moments on 'All My Children' when half the women actors, young and old, seem to be afflicted by android Barbie creep. All those thick swatches of lifeless strands clustering lankly round ladies' necks! Like orange tanning spray, this is a fashion fad that should be put out of its misery.

Feminism has become a catch-all vegetable drawer where bunches of clingy sob sisters can store their moldy neuroses.
Camille Paglia
Image
When in doubt, I read Oscar Wilde.

The Devil is a woman.
Camille Paglia
Image
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
Image
Much violence against women originates in emotional territory that they already command. By midlife and early old age, as the hormones of both genders change, women are in total, despotic control of their marriages.
Camille Paglia
Image
Music never dies. Do we really need another Madonna tour? Does she have to compete with women performers 25 years her junior?
Camille Paglia
Image
I cannot be convinced that great artists are moralists. Art is first appearances, then meaning.
Camille Paglia
Image
Every reading is partial, but that does not absolve us from the quest for meaning, which defines us as a species.
Camille Paglia
Image
Mind is a captive of the body.

Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.
