More quotes by Margaret Mead
We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.
Margaret Mead
Be who you really are, do what you want to do, in order to have what you really want.
Margaret Mead
[In Bali] life is a rhythmic, patterned unreality of pleasant, significant movement, centered in one's own body to which all emotions long ago withdrew.
Margaret Mead
Living in the modern world, clothed and muffled, forced to convey our sense of our bodies in terms of remote symbols like walking sticks and umbrellas and handbags, it is easy to lose sight of the immediacy of the human body plan.
Margaret Mead
An education not founded on Art will never succeed.
Margaret Mead
The negative cautions of science are never popular.
Margaret Mead
Contentment can be bought at a price that one can not possibly pay.
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
Monogamous heterosexual love is probably one of the most difficult, complex and demanding of human relationships.
Margaret Mead
The older child who has lost or broken some valuable thing will be found when his parents return, not run away, not willing to confess, but in a deep sleep. The thief whose case is being tried falls asleep.
Margaret Mead
No society that feeds its children on tales of successful violence can expect them not to believe that violence in the end is rewarded.
Margaret Mead
today's children are the first generation to grow up in a world that has the power to destroy itself.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
You can never have a relationship with someone whose smell you don't like.
Margaret Mead
Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put it in an impossible situation.
Margaret Mead
If one cannot state a matter clearly enough so that even an intelligent twelve-year-old can understand it, one should remain within the cloistered walls of the university and laboratory until one gets a better grasp of one's subject matter.
Margaret Mead
the people of one nation alone cannot save their own children each holds the responsibility for the others' children.
Margaret Mead
Human beings do not carry civilization in their genes. All that we do carry in our genes are certain capacities- the capacity to learn to walk upright, to use our brains, to speak, to relate to our fellow men, to construct and use tools, to explore the universe, and to express that exploration in religion, in art, in science, in philosophy.
Margaret Mead
Human nature is almost unbelievably malleable, responding accurately and contrastingly to contrasting cultural conditions.
Margaret Mead
Injustice experienced in the flesh, in deeply wounded flesh, is the stuff out of which change explodes.
Margaret Mead
