Camille Paglia Quotes
'My generation of the Sixties, with all our great ideals, destroyed liberalism, because of our excesses.'
'If you live in rock and roll, as I do, you see the reality of sex, of male lust and women being aroused by male lust. It attracts women. It doesn't repel them.'
'My thinking tends to be libertarian. That is, I oppose intrusions of the state into the private realm - as in abortion, sodomy, prostitution, pornography, drug use, or suicide, all of which I would strongly defend as matters of free choice in a representative democracy.'
'Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.'
'The only thing that will be remembered about my enemies after they're dead is the nasty things I've said about them.'
'Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.'
'Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.'
'Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.'
