More From Germaine Greer

A prayerful life is the key to possessing gratitude. we often take for granted the people who most deserve our gratitude. let us not wait until it is too late for us to express our gratitude. feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. if i gratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. to express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.

If we can abstract pathogenicity and hygiene from our notion of dirt, we are left with the old definition of dirt as matter out of place. this is a very suggestive approach. it implies two conditions: a set of ordered relations and a contrevention of that order. dirt then, is never a unique, isolated event. where there is dirt there is a system. dirt is the by-product of a systematic ordering and classification of matter, in so far as ordering involves rejecting inappropriate elements.

The way i see it, the difference between farmers and suburbanites is the difference in the way we feel about dirt. to them, the earth is something to be respected and preserved, but dirt gets no respect. a farmer likes dirt. suburbanites like to get rid of it. dirt is the working layer of earth, and dealing with dirt is as much a part of farm life as dealing with manure. neither is user-friendly but both are necessary.

Dirt is dirt, and we've all got it no matter where we come from. i'm not sure christ sees one kind of dirt as dirtier than another. one thing is for sure: his blood is able to bleach any stain left by any kind of dirt.

Because gratitude is the key to happiness, anything that undermines gratitude must undermine happiness. and nothing undermines gratitude as much as expectations. there is an inverse relationship between expectations and gratitude: the more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have.

I turn sentences around. that's my life. i write a sentence and then i turn it around. then i look at it and i turn it around again. then i have lunch. then i come back in and write another sentence. then i have tea and turn the new sentence around. then i read the two sentences over and turn them both around. then i lie down on my sofa and think. then i get up and throw them out and start from the beginning.

I know starting careers in troubled times is a challenge, but it is also a privilege. because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, dig deeper and to discover gifts we never knew we had. to find the greatness that lies within each of us. so don't ever shy away from that endeavor. don't stop adding to your body of work. i can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort as will be this nation that we all love.

The broad mass of a nation will more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one. the greater the lie, the greater chance that it will be believed. all epoch-making events have been produced not by the written, but the spoken word.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep...wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you....the one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'
