Margaret Mead
Image
Loving you is just like breathing, as effortless, and as lovely.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
Image
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
Image
Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women.
Margaret Mead
Image
Interest and proficiency in almost any one activity-swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, skating-breed interest in many more. Once someone discovers the delight of mastering one skill, however slightly, he is likely to try out not just one more, but a whole ensemble.
Margaret Mead
Image
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
Image
Sooner or later I'm going to die, but I'm not going to retire.
