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.

I find that those men who are...

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 238 quotes

Every time a man unburdens hi...

Every time a man unburdens his heart to a stranger he reaffirms the love that unites humanity.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

If women understand by emanci...

If women understand by emancipation the adoption of the masculine role then we are lost indeed. If women can supply no counterbalance to the blindness of male drive the aggressive society will run to its lunatic extremes at ever-escalating speed. Who will safeguard the despised animal faculties of compassion, empathy, innocence and sensuality?

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Human beings have an inaliena...

Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Poetry exists partly to under...

Poetry exists partly to undermine the certainties of an accepted intellectual system, by opening a fissure of awareness at which the reality of the unconquered world may enter.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

All that remains to the mothe...

All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysis and to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Womanpower means the self det...

Womanpower means the self determination of women, and that means all the baggage of paternalistic society will have to be thrown overboard.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

If female liberation is to ha...

If female liberation is to happen, if the reservoir of real female love is to be tapped, this sterile self-deception must be counteracted. The only literary form which could outsell romantic trash on the female market is hard-core pornography.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

The high-heeled shoe is a mar...

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 238 quotes

Our business in life is not t...

Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves-to breakour own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today."Stewart B. Johnson"Men rule because women let them. Male misogyny is real enough, and it has dreadful consequences, but female misogyny is what keeps women out of power.

Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

We can put women on Prozac an...

We can put women on Prozac and they will think they are happy, even though they are not. Disturbed animals in the zoo are given Prozac too, which rather suggests that misery is a response to unbearable circumstances rather than constitutional.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

How you answer the question, ...

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?

I didn't fight to get women out from behind vacuum cleaners to get them onto the board of Hoover.

Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Guilt is one side of a nasty ...

Guilt is one side of a nasty triangle; the other two are shame and stigma. This grim coalition combines to inculpate women themselves of the crimes committed against them.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Probably the only place where...

Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

If a person loves only one ot...

If a person loves only one other person, and is indifferent to his fellow men, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Marriage made more sense when...

Marriage made more sense when it was indissoluble. It's the woman trying to cope with the strains of a one-parent family who will suffer most from the relaxation of the divorce laws.
