More quotes by Margaret Mead
I think rigid heterosexuality is a perversion of nature.
Margaret Mead
The differences between the two sexes is one of the important conditions upon which we have built the many varieties of human culture that give human beings dignity and stature.
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
The important thing about women today is, as they get older, they still keep house. It's one reason why they don't die, but men die when they retire. Women just polish the teacups.
Margaret Mead
The way to do fieldwork is never to come up for air until it is all over.
Margaret Mead
We grow up never questioning that which is unquestioned around us.
Margaret Mead
The anonymity of the city is one of its strengths as well as - carried too far - one of its weaknesses.
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

Margaret Mead
Men have always been afraid that women could get along without them.
Margaret Mead
Jealousy is not a barometer by which the depth of love can be read. It merely records the degree of the lover's insecurity.
Margaret Mead
I was a child that both my parents wanted. I was told from the time I was born that I was totally satisfactory. I had a chance to be what I wanted to be.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
Margaret Mead
Maleness in America is not absolutely defined it has to be kept and re-earned every day, and one essential element in the definition is beating women in every game that both sexes play.
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
The contempt for law and the contempt for the human consequences of lawbreaking go from the bottom to the top of American society.
Margaret Mead
Even though the ship may go down, the journey goes on.
Margaret Mead
Warfare ... is just an invention, older and more widespread than the jury system, but none the less an invention.
Margaret Mead
