Margaret Mead
Image
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
Image
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
Margaret Mead
Image
A small group of thoughtful people could change the world.
Margaret Mead
Image
Our humanity rests upon a series of learned behaviors, woven together into patterns that are infinitely fragile and never directly inherited.
Margaret Mead
Image
Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
Margaret Mead
Image
For the human species to evolve, the conversation must deepen.
