Margaret Mead
I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.
Margaret Mead
In the modern world we have invented ways of speeding up invention, and people's lives change so fast that a person is born into one kind of world, grows up in another, and by the time his children are growing up, lives in still a different world
Margaret Mead
Sooner or later I'm going to die, but I'm not going to retire.
Margaret Mead
