"Foucault is the Cagliostro of our time."

Camille Paglia

“Who said it first? We don't know, but very often we find the same ideas attributed to two different people. All we can do is give you both. . . . The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.”

“It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.”
“Things usually make sense in time, and even bad decisions have their own kind of correctness.”
“Art and life ought to be hurriedly remarried and brought to live together.”
“Love endeth like the chianti flask, its drops are bitter.”
“Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me.”
“Always make it a goal to keep your conversations cordial. Sometimes that will not be possible. If a principled, charitable expression of your ideas makes someone mad, thereâ€™s little you can do about it. Jesusâ€™ teaching made some people furious. Just make sure itâ€™s your ideas that offend and not you, that your beliefs cause the dispute and not your behavior.”
