Germaine Greer
If a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got?
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
Once a paper admits any principle of censorship for survival, the we-don't-want-to-do-it-but-we-don't-want-to-lose-the-printer kind of censorship, it jeopardizes the integrity of its editorial principle. It's better to print and be damned, because you'll be damned anyway.
Germaine Greer

The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilisation and the end of the state and marriage were right after all it is time for the demolition to begin.
Germaine Greer
War is the admission of defeat in the face of conflicting interests.
Germaine Greer
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Germaine Greer
Our life-style contains more Thanatos than Eros, for egotism, exploitation, deception, obsession and addiction have more place in us than eroticism, joy, generosity and spontaneity.
Germaine Greer
Energy is the power that drives every human being. It is not lost by exertion but maintained by it, for it is a faculty of the psyche.
Germaine Greer
The treatment for jaded sensibilities is not to shatter them, after all.
Germaine Greer
A library is a place where you can lose your innocence without losing your virginity.
Germaine Greer
