More quotes by Germaine Greer
If women understand by emancipation the adoption of the masculine role then we are lost indeed.
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
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
Act quickly, think slowly.
Germaine Greer
Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution.
Germaine Greer
English children have lost their innocence, for their first lessons have been in the exploitation of their adult slave.
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
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
As Angelo discovered in Measure for Measure, nothing corrupts like virtue.
Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
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
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
Sadness is the matrix from which wit and irony spring sadness is uncomfortable and creative, which is why consumer society cannot tolerate it.
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
I believe in permanent revolution.
Germaine Greer
Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. 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
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
No one goes to the toilet in novels. You'd think none of us had bladders.
Germaine Greer
The principle of the brotherhood of man is narcissistic... for the grounds for that love have always been the assumption that we ought to realize that we are the same the whole world over.
Germaine Greer
The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.
Germaine Greer
