More quotes by 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

Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Supergroupies don't have to hang around hotel corridors. When you are one, as I have been, you get invited backstage.
Germaine Greer
Unless the concepts of work and play and reward for work change absolutely, women must continue to provide cheap labor, and even more, free labor exacted of right by an employer possessed of a contract for life, made out in his favor.
Germaine Greer
It takes a great deal of courage and independence to decide to design your own image instead of the one that society rewards, but it gets easier as you go along.
Germaine Greer
The principle of the brotherhood of man is narcissistic... for the grounds for that love have always been the assumption that we ought to realize that we are the same the whole world over.
Germaine Greer
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
Germaine Greer
Men ought to become more conscious of their bodies as objects of delight.
Germaine Greer
Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.
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
