Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well

More quotes by Germaine Greer
The drug which makes sexuality palatable in popular mythology.
Germaine Greer
If a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got?
Germaine Greer
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Germaine Greer
Human beings have an unalienable right to invent themselves when that right is pre-empted it is called brain-washing.
Germaine Greer
I find that those men who are personally most polite to women, who call them angels and all that, cherish in secret the greatest contempt for them.
Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
The high-heeled shoe is a marvellously contradictory item it brings a woman to a man's height but makes sure she cannot keep up with him.
Germaine Greer
continuing sexual interest and perfect sexual adjustment between partners who have been together for thirty years is so difficult and rare that no one should feel guilty or inadequate for not having managed it.
Germaine Greer
It strikes me as very strange that whereas Tennyson could support most of Mr. Buckley's propositions about free trade, and the private sector, and private enterprise, Tennyson found no difficulty also in lending intellectual support to the idea of Women's Liberation.
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
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
I think that testosterone is a rare poison.
Germaine Greer
At the same time as woman was becoming the showcase for wealth and caste, while men were slipping into relative anonymity and handsome is as handsome does, she was emerging as the central emblem of western art.
Germaine Greer
Soccer is an art more central to our culture than anything the Arts Council deigns to recognize.
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
Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper, or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room.
Germaine Greer
Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
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
Bollocks have never frightened me. I'll eat a bollock any time.
Germaine Greer
How you answer the question, whether individuals should be persuaded to live their whole lives in a state of chemical dependency, first upon contraceptive steroids and then on replacement therapy, depends upon your regard for the autonomy of the individual. If men would not live their lives this way, why should women?
Germaine Greer
