Greer

Famous quotes containing the word greer:

“Love, love, love—all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves; when that right is pre-empted it is called brain-washing.”
—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)
