Paglia Called

Famous quotes containing the words paglia and/or called:

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    Great is my envy of death whose curt hard sword
    Carried her whom I called my life away;
    Me he disdains, and mocks me from her eyes!
    Petrarch (1304–1374)
