Germaine Greer
Security is the denial of life
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
Next time round Hitler will be a machine.
Germaine Greer
