Germaine Greer
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.
Germaine Greer
Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out it's one of the most charming things about them.
Germaine Greer
Every time a man unburdens his heart to a stranger he reaffirms the love that unites humanity.
Germaine Greer
Yet if a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got? If she never takes off her high-heeled shoes, how will she ever know how far she could walk or how fast she could run?
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Man is jealous because of his amour propre woman is jealous because of her lack of it.

Germaine Greer
Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper, or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room.
Germaine Greer
After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is.
Germaine Greer
Until women themselves reject stigma and refuse to feel shame for the way others treat them, they have no hope of achieving full human stature.
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
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
Germaine Greer
If a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got?
Germaine Greer
Once a paper admits any principle of censorship for survival, the we-don't-want-to-do-it-but-we-don't-want-to-lose-the-printer kind of censorship, it jeopardizes the integrity of its editorial principle. It's better to print and be damned, because you'll be damned anyway.
Germaine Greer
The consequences of militancy do not disappear when the need for militancy is over.
Germaine Greer
The castration of women has been carried out in terms of a masculine-feminine polarity, in which men have commandeered all the energy and streamlined it into an aggressive conquistadorial power, reducing all heterosexual contact to a sadomasochistic pattern.
Germaine Greer
The only causes of regret are laziness, outbursts of temper, hurting others, prejudice, jealousy, and envy.
