Margaret Mead
If sports are the toy department of life, then the NFL is the FAO Schwartz of sports.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.
Margaret Mead
Interest and proficiency in almost any one activity-swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, skating-breed interest in many more. Once someone discovers the delight of mastering one skill, however slightly, he is likely to try out not just one more, but a whole ensemble.
Margaret Mead
Injustice experienced in the flesh, in deeply wounded flesh, is the stuff out of which change explodes.
Margaret Mead
I suddenly realized that through no act of my own I had become biologically related to a new human being.
Margaret Mead
