More quotes by Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
Because of their age long training in human relations for that is what feminine intuition really is women have a special contribution to make any group enterprise.
Margaret Mead
You can never have a relationship with someone whose smell you don't like.
Margaret Mead
to the extent that either sex is disadvantaged, the whole culture is poorer, and the sex that, superficially, inherits the earth, inherits only a very partial legacy. The more whole the culture, the more whole each member, each man, each woman, each child will be.
Margaret Mead
We are now at a point where we must educate our children in what no one knew yesterday, and prepare our schools for what no one knows yet.
Margaret Mead
I think rigid heterosexuality is a perversion of nature.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
An education not founded on Art will never succeed.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
Blackberry winter, the time when the hoarforst lies on the blackberry blossoms without this frost the berries will not set. It is the forerunner of a rich harvest.
Margaret Mead
From a hundred cultures, [there is] one culture which does what no culture has ever done before-gives a place to every human gift.
Margaret Mead
EARTH DAY reminds the people of the world of the need for continuing care which is vital to Earth's safety.
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
I discovered when I had a child of my own that I had become a biased observer of small children. Instead of looking at them with affectionate but nonpartisan eyes, I saw each of them as older or younger, bigger or smaller, more or less graceful, intelligent, or skilled than my own child.
Margaret Mead
Be who you really are, do what you want to do, in order to have what you really want.
Margaret Mead
I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.
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
There is no evidence that suggests women are naturally better at caring for children... with the fact of child-bearing out of the centre of attention, there is even more reason for treating girls first as human beings, then as women.
Margaret Mead
