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

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
In our contemporary world, no one can think or work with a single picture of what a family is. No one can fit all human behavior, all thought and feeling, into a single pattern.
Margaret Mead
Throughout history, females have picked providers for males. Males pick anything.
Margaret Mead
A small group of thoughtful people could change the world.
Margaret Mead
In each age there is a series of pressing questions which must be asked and answered. On the correctness of the questions depends the survival of those who ask on the quality of the answers depends the quality of the life those survivors will lead.
Margaret Mead
The first step in the direction of a world rule of law is the recognition that peace no longer is an unobtainable ideal but a necessary condition of continued human existence. But to take even this step we must return to a calm and responsible frame of mind in which we can face the long patient tasks ahead.
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
No one will live all his life in the world into which he was born and no one will die in the world in which he worked in his maturity.
Margaret Mead
