Margaret Mead
You just have to learn not to care about the dusty mites under the beds.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.
Margaret Mead
Envy of the male role can come as much from an undervaluation of the role of wife and mother as from an overvaluation of the public aspects of achievement that have been reserved for men.
Margaret Mead
An ideal culture is one that makes a place for every human gift
Margaret Mead
Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put it in an impossible situation.
Margaret Mead
I learned to observe the world around me, and to note what I saw
