More quotes by Ashley Montagu

Ashley Montagu

Ashley Montagu

Ashley Montagu
The Eskimos live among ice all their lives but have no single word for ice.
Ashley Montagu
In teaching it is the method and not the content that is the message.

Hatred is love frustrated.
Ashley Montagu
Stand still, close your eyes and listen in the silence you can hear the cries of pain and low moans of anguish of animals waiting to die... do everything you can even if today it is just one small thing. There are no excuses for inaction, despair, egotism, or petulance that matter to the animals.
Ashley Montagu
