All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!
— Camille Paglia
Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.
Leaving sex to the feminists is like letting your dog vacation at the taxidermist.
Though men may be deep, mentally they are slow.
A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.
The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.

Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.
Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.
