More quotes by 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
Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
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
I didn't fight to get women out from behind vacuum cleaners to get them onto the board of Hoover.
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.

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
Mother is the dead heart of the family spending father's earnings on consumer goods to enhance the environment in which he eats, sleeps, and watches the television.

Germaine Greer
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
Germaine Greer
Gillard is as likeable as Rudd is charmless. She is self-deprecating he is ludicrously vainglorious. She is a mistress of understatement he is a ranter.
Germaine Greer
English children have lost their innocence, for their first lessons have been in the exploitation of their adult slave.
Germaine Greer
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
Germaine Greer
Next time round Hitler will be a machine.
Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
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
Abandonment of slavery is also the banishment of the chimera of security. The world will not change overnight, and liberation will not happen unless individual women agree to be outcasts, eccentrics, perverts, and whatever the powers-that-be choose to call them.
Germaine Greer
Soccer is an art more central to our culture than anything the Arts Council deigns to recognize.
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
