More quotes by Margaret Mead
The atmosphere is the key symbol of global interdependence.
Margaret Mead
Injustice experienced in the flesh, in deeply wounded flesh, is the stuff out of which change explodes.
Margaret Mead
Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.
Margaret Mead
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
We may say that many, if not all, of the personality traits which we have called masculine or feminine are as lightly linked to sex as are the clothing, the manners, and the form of headdress that a society at a given period assigns to either sex.
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
Be who you really are, do what you want to do, in order to have what you really want.
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
The assumption that men and woman are essentially alike in all respects, or even in the most important ones, is a damaging one, as damaging as the assumption that they are different in ways in which they aren't different, perhaps more so.
Margaret Mead
I learned to observe the world around me, and to note what I saw
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
Home, I learned, can be anywhere you make it. Home is also the place to which you come back again and again.
Margaret Mead
Parents feel like immigrants in the country of the young.
Margaret Mead
What is new is not bisexuality, but rather the widening of our awareness and acceptance of human capacities for sexual love.
Margaret Mead
I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.
Margaret Mead
Human beings do not carry civilization in their genes. All that we do carry in our genes are certain capacities- the capacity to learn to walk upright, to use our brains, to speak, to relate to our fellow men, to construct and use tools, to explore the universe, and to express that exploration in religion, in art, in science, in philosophy.
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
The young, free to act on their initiative, can lead their elders in the direction of the unknown... The children, the young, must ask the questions that we would never think to ask, but enough trust must be re-established so that the elders will be permitted to work with them on the answers.
Margaret Mead
It is of very doubtful value to enlist the gifts of a woman into fields that have been defined as male it frightens the men, unsexes the women, and muffles and distorts the contribution women could make.
Margaret Mead
The anonymity of the city is one of its strengths as well as - carried too far - one of its weaknesses.
Margaret Mead
