“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)
“Their looks show that they’re for it:
Ash hair, toad hands, prune face dried into lines
How can they ignore it?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
