More quotes by Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
The treatment for jaded sensibilities is not to shatter them, after all.
Germaine Greer
There are poems about the internet and about the shipping forecast but very few by women celebrating men.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
No one goes to the toilet in novels. You'd think none of us had bladders.

Germaine Greer
The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.
Germaine Greer
Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.
Germaine Greer
In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed.
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
I believe in permanent revolution.
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
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Germaine Greer
The consequences of militancy do not disappear when the need for militancy is over.
Germaine Greer
Reading was my first solitary vice (and led to all others). I read while I ate, I read in the loo, I read in the bath. When I was supposed to be sleeping, I was reading.
Germaine Greer
The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people's reproductive behavior, and that we may have to do it whether they like it or not, derives from the assumption that the world belongs to us, who have so expertly depleted its resources, rather than to them, who have not.
Germaine Greer
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
