More quotes by 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
Act quickly, think slowly.
Germaine Greer
Poetry exists partly to undermine the certainties of an accepted intellectual system, by opening a fissure of awareness at which the reality of the unconquered world may enter.
Germaine Greer
Abandonment of slavery is also the banishment of the chimera of security. The world will not change overnight, and liberation will not happen unless individual women agree to be outcasts, eccentrics, perverts, and whatever the powers-that-be choose to call them.
Germaine Greer
The treatment for jaded sensibilities is not to shatter them, after all.
Germaine Greer

The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilisation and the end of the state and marriage were right after all it is time for the demolition to begin.
Germaine Greer
All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man no society will survive a shortage of women.
Germaine Greer
I believe in permanent revolution.
Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
The occupational hazard of being a Playboy Bunny is the aching facial muscles brought on by obligatory smiles.
Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
Germaine Greer
Soccer is an art more central to our culture than anything the Arts Council deigns to recognize.
Germaine Greer
I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman. Damn.
Germaine Greer
I grew up thinking there was one unpardonable sin – to be boring.
Germaine Greer
There are poems about the internet and about the shipping forecast but very few by women celebrating men.
Germaine Greer
The tragedy of machismo is that a man is never quite man enough.
Germaine Greer
Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution.
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 few men who do a hand's turn around the house expect gratitude and recognition, so sure are they that, though it is their dirt, it is not their job.
Germaine Greer
Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark.
Germaine Greer
