Famous quotes containing the word greer:

    The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people’s reproductive behaviour, 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 (b. 1939)

    The hippie is the scion of surplus value. The dropout can only claim sanctity in a society which offers something to be dropped out of—career, ambition, conspicuous consumption. The effects of hippie sanctimony can only be felt in the context of others who plunder his lifestyle for what they find good or profitable, a process known as rip-off by the hippie, who will not see how savagely he has pillaged intricate and demanding civilizations for his own parodic lifestyle.
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    Australia is a huge rest home, where no unwelcome news is ever wafted on to the pages of the worst newspapers in the world.
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
