Energy is the power that drives every human being. It is not lost by exertion but maintained by it, for it is a faculty of the psyche (Germaine Greer Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Every woman knows that, regardless of all her other achievements, she is a failure if she is not beautiful (Germaine Greer Quotes)
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 (Germaine Greer Quotes)
Status ought not to be measured by a woman’s ability to attract and snare a man (Germaine Greer Quotes)
It is agreed that little girls should have a different physical education than little boys, but it is not admitted how much of the difference is counseled by the conviction that little girls should not look like little boys (Germaine Greer Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Too many women are forced to abort by poverty, by their menfolk, by their parents... A choice is only possible if there are genuine alternatives (Germaine Greer Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Every human body has its optimum weight and contour, which only health and efficiency can establish. Whenever we treat women’s bodies as aesthetic objects without function we deform them (Germaine Greer Quotes)
Mother is the dead heart of the family spending father’s earnings on consumer goods to enhance the environment in which he eats, sleeps, and watches the television (Germaine Greer Quotes)
Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living (Germaine Greer Quotes)
Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilisation and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin (Germaine Greer Quotes)
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 Quotes)
A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work (Germaine Greer Quotes)
Women live lives of continual apology. They are born and raised to take the blame for other people’s behavior. If they are treated without respect, they tell themselves that they have failed to earn respect. If their husbands do not fancy them, it is because they are unattractive (Germaine Greer Quotes)
