Camille Paglia Quotes

Because of my own family’s service (in the U.S. Army, Navy, and Massachusetts and New York National Guard), I am a strong supporter of the military and do believe that there are just wars Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sotomayor’s vainglorious lecture bromide about herself as ‘a wise Latina’ trumping white men is a vulgar embarrassment - a vestige of the bad old days of male-bashing feminism Picture Quote #1

Men, gay or straight, can get beauty and lewdness into one image. Women are forever softening, censoring, politicizing. ? Picture Quote #1

Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s), I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts Picture Quote #1

Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself Picture Quote #1

I was the first to advocate the Web. But I am very troubled by this thing that every kid must have a laptop computer. The kids are totally in the computer age. There’s a whole new brain operation that’s being moulded by the computer Picture Quote #1

Hollywood movies of the Fifties, like The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur, with their epic clash of pagan and Judeo-Christian cultures, tell more about art and society than the French-infatuated ideologues who have made a travesty of the best American higher criticism Picture Quote #1

Students are very gullible about the web. The only way you can really sort out information on the web is if you’ve had a prior training in book culture Picture Quote #1

I love the Web, but the basis of my work is going through the physical books. When you go to the library, you see other books around on the shelves that you never knew existed. You can flip through a book and see the whole outline of it Picture Quote #1

Christianity began as a religion of the poor and dispossessed - farmers, fishermen, Bedouin shepherds. There’s a great lure to that kind of simplicity and rigor - the discipline, the call to action Picture Quote #1

Gloria Steinem’s marriage is proof positive of the emotional desperation of ageing feminists who for over 30 years worshiped the steely career woman and callously trashed stay-at-home moms Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a longtime admirer of Condoleezza Rice, because I like her articulateness and style - her toughness and rigor Picture Quote #1

I’m worried about the future of America insofar as our academically most promising students are being funneled through the cookie-cutter Ivy League and other elite schools and emerging with this callow anti-American, anti-military cast to their thinking Picture Quote #1

Video games and YouTube.com are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits Picture Quote #1

Back in the 1960s, I got a superb education for very little money. The bill for my first year at Harpur College in New York was a few hundred dollars Picture Quote #1

Within the U.S., the Obama presidency will be mainly measured by the success or failure of his economic policies. And here, I fear, the monstrous stimulus package with which this administration stumbled out of the gate will prove to be Obama’s Waterloo Picture Quote #1

Madonna can still produce a catchy pop song, but she hasn’t expanded her artistic vocabulary since the 1990s. Her concerts are glitzy extravaganzas of special effects overkill. She leaves little space in them for emotional depth or unscripted rapport with the audience Picture Quote #1

Bisexuality is our best hope of escape from the animosities and false polarities of the current sex wars Picture Quote #1

I despise the phony, fancy-pants rhetoric of professors aping jargon-filled European locutions - which have blighted academic film criticism for over 30 years Picture Quote #1

Most people aren’t sure what’s going to happen on a first date. Given that ambiguity, every woman must be totally aware at every moment that she is responsible for every choice she makes. ... protect yourselves. See trouble coming Picture Quote #1

Science is a method of logical analysis of nature’s operations. It has lessened human anxiety about the cosmos by demonstrating the materiality of nature’s forces, and their frequent predictability Picture Quote #1

Ever since Romanticism, an oppositional mode, artists have the right, and indeed the duty, to attack social convention. But it is ridiculous and in fact self-infantilizing for them to expect to be financially supported by the general public whom they are insulting Picture Quote #1

I believe that government should confine itself to the public realm and that it should be as stripped down as possible, within reason. It should not be burdened by excess bureaucracy Picture Quote #1

Throughout history, ambassadors have always been symbolic incarnations of the sovereignty of their nations and the dignity of their leaders Picture Quote #1

Nature, I have constantly argued in my work, is the real superpower of this godless universe. It is the ultimate disposer of human fate, randomly recarving geography over 10,000-year epochs Picture Quote #1

I cannot be convinced that great artists are moralists. Art is first appearances, then meaning Picture Quote #1

When women cut themselves off from men, they sink backward into psychological and spiritual stagnancy Picture Quote #1
