Germaine Greer
If women understand by emancipation the adoption of the masculine role then we are lost indeed.
Germaine Greer
The drug which makes sexuality palatable in popular mythology.
Germaine Greer
It's absolutely philistine not to recognize what a great book 'An American Dream' is. Norman Mailer is his own worst enemy, and if you don't catch him in a defensive position, he'll admit it. I'd really like to help that man.
Germaine Greer
Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
Germaine Greer
The tragedy of machismo is that a man is never quite man enough.

We live in a true chaos of contradicting authorities, an age of conformism without community, of proximity without communication. We could only fear chaos if we imagined that it was unknown to us, but in fact we know it very well.
Germaine Greer
We still make love to organs and not people that so far from realising that people are never more idiosyncratic, never more totally there when they make love, we re never more incommunicative, never more alone.
Germaine Greer
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Germaine Greer
There are poems about the internet and about the shipping forecast but very few by women celebrating men.
Germaine Greer
Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe.
Germaine Greer
Because love has been so perverted, it has in many cases come to involve a measure of hatred.
Germaine Greer
Supergroupies don't have to hang around hotel corridors. When you are one, as I have been, you get invited backstage.
Germaine Greer
Man is jealous because of his amour propre woman is jealous because of her lack of it.
Germaine Greer
In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed.
Germaine Greer
The high-heeled shoe is a marvellously contradictory item it brings a woman to a man's height but makes sure she cannot keep up with him.
