Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
English children have lost their innocence, for their first lessons have been in the exploitation of their adult slave.
Germaine Greer
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
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.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
