Margaret Mead
the task of each family is also the task of all humanity. This is to cherish the living, remember those who have gone before, and prepare for those who are not yet born.
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
There is no greater power in the world than the zest of a postmenopausal woman.
Margaret Mead
One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Margaret Mead
