" "

Her love for him not militate against her love for other people, did not force itself
upon him when he did not invite it, did not belittle or destroy him,
even by mendacious praise. When he was dying she was there to
help him. This strange distant love-affair is only one example of how
many forms love might take if we had the foresight and the imagination
to rescue it from the stereotypes of our dying consumer culture.

Additional quotes by Germaine Greer

A child must have care and attention, but that care and attention need not emanate from a single, permanently present individual. Children are more disturbed by changes of place than by changes in personnel around them, and more distressed by friction and ill-feeling between the adults in their environment than by unfamiliarity.

In a sane society no woman would be left to struggle on her own with the huge transformation that is motherhood, when a single individual finds herself joined by an invisible umbilical cord to another person from whom she will never be separated, even by death.
