Quote by Germaine Greer
The principle of the brotherhood of man is narcissistic... for the grounds for that love have always been the assumption that we ought to realize that we are the same the whole world over.
Summary
This quote suggests that the concept of brotherhood among humanity is narcissistic. The "grounds for that love" refers to the idea that love for others is based on the belief that everyone is essentially the same globally. The quote implies that this assumption is self-centered, as it implies that we should recognize our own likeness in others. It challenges the notion of universal brotherhood, contrasting the idea with an emphasis on self-awareness and potentially suggesting the need for a more inclusive or compassionate approach to understanding and relating to others.
