Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer

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
