More quotes by Margaret Mead
Home, I learned, can be anywhere you make it. Home is also the place to which you come back again and again.
Margaret Mead
Everybody's suffering is mine but not everybody's murdering ... I do not distinguish for one moment whether my child is in danger or a child in central Asia. But I will not accept responsibility for what other people do because I happen to belong to that nation or that race or that religion. I do not believe in guilt by association.
Margaret Mead
Loving you is just like breathing, as effortless, and as lovely.
Margaret Mead
[Among the Arapeh... both father and mother are held responsible for child care by the entire community...] If one comments upon a middle-aged man as good-looking, the people answer: 'Good-looking? Ye-e-e-s? But you should have seen him before he bore all those children'.
Margaret Mead
Samoa culture demonstrates how much the tragic or the easy solution of the Oedipus situation depends upon the inter-relationship between parents and children, and is not created out of whole cloth by the young child's biological impulses.
Margaret Mead
There is no evidence that suggests women are naturally better at caring for children... with the fact of child-bearing out of the centre of attention, there is even more reason for treating girls first as human beings, then as women.
Margaret Mead
An education not founded on Art will never succeed.
Margaret Mead
Throughout history, females have picked providers for males. Males pick anything.
Margaret Mead
Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.
Margaret Mead
It was not until we saw the picture of the earth, from the moon, that we realized how small and how helpless this planet is - something that we must hold in our arms and care for.
Margaret Mead
we came to realize that a civilization which rode roughshod over the way of life of other peoples was incorporating evil in its own way of life.
Margaret Mead
Envy of the male role can come as much from an undervaluation of the role of wife and mother as from an overvaluation of the public aspects of achievement that have been reserved for men.
Margaret Mead
Parents feel like immigrants in the country of the young.
Margaret Mead
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
Margaret Mead
I have spent most of my life studying the lives of other peoples - faraway peoples - so that Americans might better understand themselves.
Margaret Mead
It is of very doubtful value to enlist the gifts of a woman into fields that have been defined as male it frightens the men, unsexes the women, and muffles and distorts the contribution women could make.
Margaret Mead
Because our civilization is woven of so many diverse strands, the ideas which any one group accepts will be found to contain numerous contradictions.
Margaret Mead
Our human situation no longer permits us to make armed dichotomies between those who are good and those who are evil, those who are right and those who are wrong. The first blow dealt to the enemy's children will sign the death warrant of our own.
Margaret Mead
We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.
Margaret Mead
We — mankind — stand at the center of an evolutionary crisis, with a new evolutionary device — our consciousness of the crisis — as our unique contribution.
Margaret Mead
