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.

More quotes by Germaine Greer
The drug which makes sexuality palatable in popular mythology.
Germaine Greer
Nature herself is not always unambiguous. Sometimes a girl child may have so well-developed a clitoris that it is assumed she is a boy. Likewise, many male children may be underdeveloped, or their genitals deformed or hidden and it is assumed that they are girls.
Germaine Greer
Bollocks have never frightened me. I'll eat a bollock any time.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
Most women still need a room of their own and the only way to find it may be outside their own home.
Germaine Greer
Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. 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
Men ought to become more conscious of their bodies as objects of delight.
Germaine Greer

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
If women understand by emancipation the adoption of the masculine role then we are lost indeed.
Germaine Greer
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Germaine Greer
Man is jealous because of his amour propre woman is jealous because of her lack of it.
Germaine Greer
It [childbearing] was never intended to be as time-consuming and self-conscious a process as it is. One of the deepest evils in our society is tyrannical nurturance.
Germaine Greer
Status ought not to be measured by a woman's ability to attract and snare a man.
Germaine Greer
As Angelo discovered in Measure for Measure, nothing corrupts like virtue.
Germaine Greer
Act quickly, think slowly.
Germaine Greer
Soccer is an art more central to our culture than anything the Arts Council deigns to recognize.
Germaine Greer
Bringing up children is not a real occupation, because children come up just the same, brought or not.
Germaine Greer
