Friedrich Nietzsche
“I judge a man by the amount of power and abundance of will he represents, not by its weakening and extinction; I consider a philosophy which teaches the denial of will to be a teaching both harmful and defamatory. I judge the power of a will by how much opposition, pain, and torture it endures and knows how to turn to advantage; far be it from me therefore to add to the charges against existence its evil and painful character; rather I hold out the hope that it may one day be more evil and painful than it has ever been”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power

Camille Paglia
“The male orientation of classical Athens was inseparable from its genius. Athens became great not despite but because of its misogyny.”
Camille Paglia

Camille Paglia
“What fascinated me about English was what I later recognized as its hybrid etymoogy: blunt Anglo-Saxon concreteness, sleek Norman French urbanity, and polysyllabic Greco-Roman abstraction. The clash of these elements, as competitive as Italian dialects is invigorating, richly entertaining, and often funny, as it is to Shaskespeare, who gets tremendous effects out of their interplay. The dazzling multiplicity of sounds and word choices in English makes it brilliantly suited to be a language of poetry..”
Camille Paglia, Break, Blow, Burn

Camille Paglia
“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.”
Camille Paglia

Camille Paglia
“And I found in my study that history is cyclic, and everywhere in the world you find this pattern in ancient times: that as a culture begins to decline, you have an efflorescence of transgender phenomena. That is a symptom of cultural collapse.”
Camille Paglia
