Germaine Greer
A library is a place where you can lose your innocence without losing your virginity.
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
Every time a man unburdens his heart to a stranger he reaffirms the love that unites humanity.
Germaine Greer
Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out it's one of the most charming things about them.
Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
