More quotes by Germaine Greer
As soon as we find ourselves working at being indispensable, rigging up a pattern of vulnerability in our loved ones, we know that our love has taken the socially sanctioned form of egotism.
Germaine Greer
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Germaine Greer
The only causes of regret are laziness, outbursts of temper, hurting others, prejudice, jealousy, and envy.
Germaine Greer
In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed.
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
We still make love to organs and not people that so far from realising that people are never more idiosyncratic, never more totally there when they make love, we re never more incommunicative, never more alone.
Germaine Greer
No one goes to the toilet in novels. You'd think none of us had bladders.
Germaine Greer
I think that testosterone is a rare poison.
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
The castration of women has been carried out in terms of a masculine-feminine polarity, in which men have commandeered all the energy and streamlined it into an aggressive conquistadorial power, reducing all heterosexual contact to a sadomasochistic pattern.
Germaine Greer
Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
Germaine Greer
In modern consumer society, the attack on mother-child eroticism took its total form breastfeeding was proscribed and the breasts reserved for the husband's fetishistic delectation. At the same time, babies were segregated, put into cold beds alone and not picked up if they cried.
Germaine Greer
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
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
Perhaps women have always been in closer contact with reality than men: it would seem to be the just recompense for being deprived of idealism.
Germaine Greer
Act quickly, think slowly.
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
I believe in permanent revolution.
Germaine Greer
Sex for many has become a sorry business, a mechanical release involving neither discovery nor triumph, stressing human isolation more dishearte-ingly than ever before.
Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
Germaine Greer
