Abstract art: a construction site for high fashion, for advertising, for furniture.
When it defines man as the enemy, feminism is alienating women from their own bodies.
The artist makes art not to save mankind but to save himself. Every benevolent comment by an artist is a fog to cover his tracks, the bloody trail of his assault against reality and others.
As a major contemporary composer, Madonna should not let the eye dictate to the ear.
I support, defend, and admire prostitutes, gay or straight. They do important and necessary work, whether moralists of the Left and Right like it or not. Feminists who think they can abolish the sex trade are in a state of massive delusion. Only a ruthless, fascist regime of vast scale could eradicate the rogue sex impulse that is indistinguishable from the life force. Simply in the Western world, pagan sexuality has survived 2000 years of Judaeo-Christian persecution and is hardly going to be defeated by a few feminists whacking at it with their brooms.
Prostitution is not just a service industry, mopping up the overflow of male demand, which always exceeds female supply. Prostitution testifies to the amoral power struggle of sex, which religion has never been able to stop. Prostitutes, pornographers, and their patrons are marauders in the forest of archaic night.
Cats are autocrats of naked self-interest.
I have stepped outside my comfort zone enough to know that, yes, the world does fall apart, but not in the way that you fear.
Life's face is never the same though we may look at it for all eternity.
Nothing more powerfully excites any affection than to conceal some part of its object, by throwing it into a kind of shade, whichat the same time that it shows enough to prepossess us in favour of the object, leaves still some work for the imagination.
All artists dream of a silence which they must enter, as some creatures return to the sea to spawn.
