More quotes by Margaret Mead
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
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
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
I learned the value of hard work by working hard.
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

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
WE MUST DEVISE A SYSTEM IN WHICH PEACE IS MORE REWARDING THAN WAR.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
In this country, some people start being miserable about growing old while they are still young.
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
Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women.
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
Standardized personality differences between the sexes are of this order, cultural creations to which each generation, male and female, is trained to conform.
Margaret Mead
And as I had my father's kind of mind-which was also his mother's-I learned that the mind is not sex-typed.
Margaret Mead
My grandmother wanted me to get a good education, so she kept me as far away from schools as possible.
Margaret Mead
Women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.
Margaret Mead
