Camille Paglia frasi celebri

“Niente dimostra l'isolamento della sinistra dalla gente quanto la derisione della religione, che per la maggior parte degli uomini rimane una caratteristica vitale della loro identità.”

Camille Paglia

“Lasciare il sesso alle femministe è come andare in vacanza lasciando il tuo cane ad un impagliatore.”

Camille Paglia

“Le vite degli imperatori romani dimostrano l'inadeguatezza del nostro moderno mito della libertà personale. Costoro erano uomini del tutto liberi e al tempo stesso disgustati della propria libertà. La liberazione sessuale, questo nostro illusorio miraggio, si conclude nella spossatezza e nell'accidia.”

Camille Paglia

Origine: Da Sexual personae, Einaudi, 1993.

“Tutti i codici morali sono degli impedimenti, sono solo relativi e artificiali. Eppure sono stati di enorme giovamento alla civiltà. Sono la civiltà. Senza di essi siamo sopraffatti dalla caotica barbarie del sesso, dalla tirannia della natura.”

Camille Paglia

“[Sulla procreazione assistita] [Sono] preoccupata dalla mescolanza perniciosa tra attivismo gay e scienza che produce più propaganda che verità.”

Camille Paglia

“Dato che le vignette di Charlie Hebdo erano disponibili in rete, non capisco perché i grandi giornali avrebbero dovuto ripubblicarle, esponendo i loro staff a potenziali pericoli da parte di fanatici senza scrupoli. I direttori poi possono anche indulgere in gesti nobili e simbolici, barricati come sono dietro sistemi di sicurezza molto più sofisticati di quelli della redazione di Charlie, ma di solito a pagare il prezzo più alto sono gli inservienti, le guardie, i custodi.”

Camille Paglia Frasi e Citazioni

“L'omosessualità non è normale; al contrario si tratta di una sfida alla norma.”

Camille Paglia

“[…] ho un rispetto enorme per la religione, che considero una fonte di valore psicologico, etico e culturale infinitamente più ricca dello sciocco e mortifero post-strutturalismo, che è diventato una religione secolarizzata.”

Sulla religione

“[…] l'attivismo nero si è ispirato alla profonde tradizioni spirituali della chiesa a cui la retorica politica gay è stata ostile in maniera infantile. Stridulo, egoista e dottrinario, l'attivismo gay è completamente privo di prospettiva filosofica.”

Camille Paglia

“I Democratici che pretendono di parlare ai poveri e ai diseredati, sono sempre più il partito di un'élite fatta d'intellettuali e accademici.”

Camille Paglia

“When feminist discourse is unable to discriminate the drunken fraternity brother from the homicidal maniac, women are in trouble.”

on date rape, p. 33
Vamps and Tramps (1994), "No Law in the Arena: A Pagan Theory of Sexuality"

“I want a revamped feminism. Putting the vamp back means the lady must be a tramp. My generation of Sixties rebels wanted to smash the bourgeois codes that had become the authoritarian totems of the Fifties. The 'nice' girl with her soft, sanitized speech and decorous manners had to go. Thirty years later, we're still stuck with her — in the official spokesmen and the anointed heiresses of the feminist establishment… Equal opportunity feminism, which I espouse, demands the removal of all barriers to woman's advance in the political and professional world — but not at the price of special protections for women which are infantilizing and anti-democratic.”

“Serial or sex murder, like fetishism, is a perversion of male intelligence. It is a criminal abstraction, masculine in its deranged egoism and orderliness. It is the asocial equivalent of philosophy, mathematics and music. There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.</b”

“We do not need French post-structuralism, whose pedantic jargon, clumsy convolutions, and prissy abstractions have spread throughout academe and the arts and are now blighting the most promising minds of the next generation. This is a major crisis if there ever was one, and every sensible person must help bring it to an end.”

“Capitalism, gaudy and greedy, has been inherent in western aesthetics from ancient Egypt on. It is the mysticism and glamour of things, which take on a personality of their own. As an economic system, it is in the Darwinian line of Sade, not Rousseau.”

“The old “double standard” gave men a sexual liberty denied to women. Marxist feminists reduced the historical cult of woman’s virginity to her property value, her worth on the male marriage market. I would argue instead that there was and is a biological basis to the double standard. The first medical reports on the disease killing male homosexuals [i. e., AIDS] indicated men most at risk were those with a thousand partners over their lifetime. Incredulity. Who could such people be? Why, it turns out, everyone one knew. Serious, kind, literate men, not bums or thugs.”

“Meryl Streep, in her Protestant way, is stuck on words; she flashes clever accents as a mask for her deeper failures. (And she cannot deliver a Jewish line; she destroyed Nora Ephron’s snappy dialogue in Hearburn.) Streep’s work doesn’t travel. Try dubbing her for movie houses in India: there’d be nothing left, just that bony, earnest horse face moving its lips. Imagine, on the other hand, lesser technicians like Hedy Lammarr, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner: these women have an international and universal appeal, crossing the centuries. They would have been beautiful in Egypt, Greece, Rome, medieval Burgundy, or eighteenth-century Paris. Susan Hayward played Bathsheba. Try to picture Streep in a Bible epic! Streep is incapable of playing the great legendary or mythological roles. She has no elemental power, no smouldering sensuality.”

“An erection is a thought and the orgasm an act of the imagination. The male has to will his sexual authority before the woman who is a shadow of his mother and of all women. Failure and humiliation constantly wait in the wings. No woman has to prove herself a woman in the grim way a man has to prove himself a man. He must perform, or the show does not go on. Social convention is irrelevant. A flop is a flop.”

“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.”

“Feminists had an astoundingly naive view of the mutual exclusiveness of sex and aggression, which, Freud demonstrates, are fused in the amoral unconscious, as revealed to us through dreams. That rape is simply what used to be called “unbridled lust,” like gluttony a sin of insufficient self-restraint, seems to be beyond the feminist ken.”

“I think intellectuals should be fascinated by my rise, what it reveals about the time. My critics are irrelevant, though. It tells how much I'm getting to them by how vitriolic they are. They refuse to deal with the ideas. But reviews don't reflect anything; the books are selling. A friend told me, "The attacks make you."”

“Great women scholars like Jane Harrison and Gisela Richter were produced by the intellectual discipline of the masculine classical tradition, not the wishy-washy sentimentalism of clingy, all-forgiving sisterhood, from which no first-rate book has yet emerged. Every year, feminists provide more and more evidence for the old charge that women can neither think nor write.”

“Liberal Democrats are going to wake up from their sadomasochistic, anti-Palin orgy with a very big hangover. The evil genie released during this sorry episode will not so easily go back into its bottle. A shocking level of irrational emotionalism and at times infantile rage was exposed at the heart of current Democratic ideology — contradicting Democratic core principles of compassion, tolerance and independent thought. One would have to look back to the Eisenhower 1950s for parallels to this grotesque lock-step parade of bourgeois provincialism, shallow groupthink and blind prejudice.”

“The Bible has come under fire for making woman the fall guy in man's cosmic drama. But in casting a male conspirator, the serpent, as God's enemy, Genesis hedges and does not take its misogyny far enough. The Bible defensively swerves from God's true opponent, chthonian nature. The serpent is not outside Eve but in her. She is the garden and the serpent.”

“I have found few lesbians with whom I can discourse for more than five minutes without hitting some tiresome barrier of resentment or ideology. … Again and again over the decades, as I did my time, in frustrated boredom, in lesbian bars, trying with spectacular lack of success to make friends or just converse, I would end up gabbing for hours with some stray gay man. He might have dropped out of school at fourteen, but he had opinions, tastes, energy, wit. Is there something innately different about the gay male brain?”
