More quotes by Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
Living in the modern world, clothed and muffled, forced to convey our sense of our bodies in terms of remote symbols like walking sticks and umbrellas and handbags, it is easy to lose sight of the immediacy of the human body plan.

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
I think rigid heterosexuality is a perversion of nature.
Margaret Mead
A small group of thoughtful people could change the world.
Margaret Mead
Jealousy is not a barometer by which the depth of love can be read. It merely records the degree of the lover's insecurity.
Margaret Mead
We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.
Margaret Mead
Never depend upon institutions or government to solve any problem. All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals.
Margaret Mead
And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born it compels humility: what we began is now its own.
Margaret Mead
If sports are the toy department of life, then the NFL is the FAO Schwartz of sports.
Margaret Mead
Somehow, we have to get older people back close to growing children if we are to restore a sense of community, acquire knowledge of the past, and provide a sense of the future.
Margaret Mead
