I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passe abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.

With the author

Younger women have no problem in reconciling beauty with ambitions as a professional woman.

Camille Paglia

Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.

Camille Paglia

Video games and YouTube.com are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits.

Camille Paglia

It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.

Camille Paglia

Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.

Camille Paglia

Christianity began as a religion of the poor and dispossessed - farmers, fishermen, Bedouin shepherds. There's a great lure to that kind of simplicity and rigor - the discipline, the call to action.

Camille Paglia

Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.

Camille Paglia

Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.

We have to struggle against the conservatives from all sides, not only the right-wingers, but also the left-wing conservatives who don't want to change anything.

Jacques Delors

Change is the only constant. Hanging on is the only sin.

Denise McCluggage

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

Marlene Dietrich

My main purpose is to try in some way to change perceptions and stigma so that people with disabilities can get out and live the life they deserve to live. That's what gets me out of bed every day.

Dylan Alcott

Change before you're forced to change.

Roger Goodell

Don't live in the past. There's no point. You can't change anything. What a waste of time.

Bob Newhart

The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.

E. B. White

True change takes place in the imagination.
