Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
An ideal culture is one that makes a place for every human gift
Margaret Mead
No society that feeds its children on tales of successful violence can expect them not to believe that violence in the end is rewarded.
Margaret Mead
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
The negative cautions of science are never popular.
Margaret Mead
It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.
Margaret Mead
The older child who has lost or broken some valuable thing will be found when his parents return, not run away, not willing to confess, but in a deep sleep. The thief whose case is being tried falls asleep.
Margaret Mead
American society is very like a fish society. . . . Among certain species of fish, the only thing which determines order of dominance is length of time in the fishbowl. The oldest resident picks on the newest resident, and if the newest resident is removed to a new bowl, he, as oldest resident, will pick on the newcomers.
Margaret Mead
We grow up never questioning that which is unquestioned around us.
Margaret Mead
I don't consider my marriages as failures! It's idiotic to assume that because a marriage ends, it's failed.
Margaret Mead
