Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
[Partly as a consequence of male authority] prestige value always attaches to the activities of men.
Margaret Mead
I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.
Margaret Mead
Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.
Margaret Mead
The atmosphere is the key symbol of global interdependence.
Margaret Mead
I've been married three times - and each time I married the right person.
Margaret Mead
there are now no elders who know more than the young themselves about what the young are experiencing.
Margaret Mead
I learned to observe the world around me, and to note what I saw
Margaret Mead
If sports are the toy department of life, then the NFL is the FAO Schwartz of sports.
Margaret Mead
Motherhood is a biological fact, while fatherhood is a social invention.
Margaret Mead
