9. “Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years.

Camille Paglia

10. “The smouldering eroticism of great European actresses like Jeanne Moreau demonstrated to my generations women’s archetypal mystery and glamour, completely missing from the totalitarian world-view of the misogynist Foucault. For me, the big French D is not Derrida, but Deneuve.” Camille Paglia Feminism, Cinema, Art, Sexuality, Culture
13. “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.” Camille Paglia Cinema, Art, Aggression, Culture, Film
16. “What has been forgotten is that there were major intellectual breakthroughs in the 1960s, thanks to North American writers of an older generation. There was a rupture in continuity, since most young people influenced by those breakthroughs did not enter the professions.” Camille Paglia 1960s, Intellectuals, Society, History, Culture
23. “American feminism has a man problem. The beaming Betty Crockers, hangdog dowdies, and parochial prudes who call themselves feminists want men to be like women. They fear and despise the masculine. The academic feminists think their nerdy bookworm husbands are the ideal model of human manhood.” Camille Paglia Feminism, Gender, Society, Men, Culture
