More quotes by Germaine Greer
Every time a man unburdens his heart to a stranger he reaffirms the love that unites humanity.
Germaine Greer
The drug which makes sexuality palatable in popular mythology.
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
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
The fear of freedom is strong in us. We call it chaos or anarchy, and the words are threatening. We live in a true chaos of contradicting authorities, an age of conformism without community, of proximity without communication. We could only fear chaos if we imagined that it was unknown to us, but in fact we know it very well.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
The house wife is an unpaid employee in her husband's house in return for the security of being a permanent employee.
Germaine Greer
The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.
Germaine Greer
The most popular image of the female despite the exigencies of the clothing trade is all boobs and buttocks, a hallucinating sequence of parabolae and bulges.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
We can't change the moon but we can live in harmony with its tides, and we can make some ripples of our own.
Germaine Greer
Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of colored hair, ecru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
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
Developing the muscles of the soul demands no competitive spirit, no killer instinct, although it may erect pain barriers that the spiritual athlete must crash through.
Germaine Greer
Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.
Germaine Greer
Because love has been so perverted, it has in many cases come to involve a measure of hatred.
Germaine Greer
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.
Germaine Greer
If women understand by emancipation the adoption of the masculine role then we are lost indeed.
Germaine Greer
My knees have always been ugly.
Germaine Greer
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
