Greer

Famous quotes containing the word greer:

    All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    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 (b. 1939)

    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 (b. 1939)
