I was reminded today of Justin’s, Camille Paglia random essay generator (it came up when I googled his name). Although I find that my general understanding of most things she says are incomprehensible after a few lines, this page can create some interesting/funny combinations of thoughts. It randomly puts together an essay of her sentences that never appears too different in nature to her normal writings.
My favorite section so far has been -
“The female body’s unbearable hiddenness applies to all aspects of men’s dealings with women. Tragedy’s inhospitality to woman springs from nature’s inhospitality to man. The search for freedom through sex is doomed to failure. suffers unresolved contradictions. Emotion is passion, a continuum of eroticism and aggression.”
and
“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Art makes things. Man’s metaphors of concentration and projection are echoes of both body and mind.”
And here is a good quote from her - “Pornography is human imagination in tense theatrical action; its violations are a protest against the violations of our freedom by nature.”
