More quotes by 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
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
Germaine Greer
The drug which makes sexuality palatable in popular mythology.
Germaine Greer
Sadness is the matrix from which wit and irony spring sadness is uncomfortable and creative, which is why consumer society cannot tolerate it.
Germaine Greer
The only causes of regret are laziness, outbursts of temper, hurting others, prejudice, jealousy, and envy.
Germaine Greer
Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark.
Germaine Greer
I believe in permanent revolution.
Germaine Greer
I think that testosterone is a rare poison.
Germaine Greer
Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution.
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
I find that those men who are personally most polite to women, who call them angels and all that, cherish in secret the greatest contempt for them.
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
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
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
My knees have always been ugly.
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
Every time a man unburdens his heart to a stranger he reaffirms the love that unites humanity.
Germaine Greer
The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people's reproductive behavior, and that we may have to do it whether they like it or not, derives from the assumption that the world belongs to us, who have so expertly depleted its resources, rather than to them, who have not.
Germaine Greer
At the same time as woman was becoming the showcase for wealth and caste, while men were slipping into relative anonymity and handsome is as handsome does, she was emerging as the central emblem of western art.
