Supergroupies don't have to hang around hotel corridors. When you are one, as I have been, you get invited backstage.
Germaine Greer
Bringing up children is not a real occupation, because children come up just the same, brought or not.
Germaine Greer
English children have lost their innocence, for their first lessons have been in the exploitation of their adult slave.
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
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
After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is.
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
The high-heeled shoe is a marvellously contradictory item it brings a woman to a man's height but makes sure she cannot keep up with him.
Germaine Greer
As soon as we find ourselves working at being indispensable, rigging up a pattern of vulnerability in our loved ones, we know that our love has taken the socially sanctioned form of egotism.
Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
Germaine Greer
It's absolutely philistine not to recognize what a great book 'An American Dream' is. Norman Mailer is his own worst enemy, and if you don't catch him in a defensive position, he'll admit it. I'd really like to help that man.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Because love has been so perverted, it has in many cases come to involve a measure of hatred.
Germaine Greer
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Germaine Greer
Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of colored hair, ecru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
Now as before, women must refuse to be meek and guileful, for truth cannot be served by dissimulation. Women who fancy that they manipulate the world by pussy power and gentle cajolery are fools. It is slavery to have to adopt such tactics.
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
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
A library is a place where you can lose your innocence without losing your virginity.
