More quotes by Germaine Greer
Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution.
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
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
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
Guilt is one side of a nasty triangle the other two are shame and stigma. This grim coalition combines to inculpate women themselves of the crimes committed against them.
Germaine Greer
Most women still need a room of their own and the only way to find it may be outside their own home.
Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
Germaine Greer
The treatment for jaded sensibilities is not to shatter them, after all.
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
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 management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.
Germaine Greer
All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man no society will survive a shortage of women.
Germaine Greer
No one goes to the toilet in novels. You'd think none of us had bladders.
Germaine Greer
Human beings have an unalienable right to invent themselves when that right is pre-empted it is called brain-washing.
Germaine Greer
The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.
Germaine Greer
Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.
Germaine Greer
Until women themselves reject stigma and refuse to feel shame for the way others treat them, they have no hope of achieving full human stature.
Germaine Greer
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
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
I grew up thinking there was one unpardonable sin – to be boring.
Germaine Greer
