Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper, or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room.

There have been women in the past far more daring than we would need to be now, who ventured all and gained a little, but survived after all.

I think that testosterone is a rare poison.

We can't change the moon but we can live in harmony with its tides, and we can make some ripples of our own.

If a woman never lets herself ...

If a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got?

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Our business in life is not to...

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.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Rather than seek to be squired...

Rather than seek to be squired and dated by their rivals why should it not be possible for women to find relaxation and pleasure in the company of their 'inferiors'? They would need to shed their desperate need to admire a man, and accept the gentler role of loving him. A learned woman cannot castrate a truck-driver like she can her intellectual rival, because he has no exaggerated respect for her bookish capacities. The alternative to conventional education is not stupidity, and many a clever girl needs the corrective

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Every woman knows that, regard...

Every woman knows that, regardless of all her other achievements, she is a failure if she is not beautiful.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Human beings have an unalienable right to invent themselves; when that right is pre-empted it is called brain-washing.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Gillard is as likeable as Rudd...

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.

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

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

Consensus politics means that ...

Consensus politics means that you cannot afford to give the many-headed beast, the public, anything to vote against, for voting against is what gargantuan pseudodemocracy has to come down to.

Most people die in improvised circumstances of harassment and confusion, whether in hospital or out of it.

The most unpardonable privilege that men enjoy is their magnanimity.

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.

If the next time our governments propose to make war on a helpless civilian population we were to uncover our grief and guilt instead of our anger, how much difference might we make?

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

In a sane society no woman would be left to struggle on her own with the huge transformation that is motherhood, when a single individual finds herself joined by an invisible umbilical cord to another person from whom she will never be separated, even by death.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

Every time a woman makes herself laugh at her husband's often-told jokes she betrays him. The man who looks at his woman and says 'What would I do without you?' is already destroyed.

Germaine Greer 238 quotes

I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman. Damn.
