Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Our first and most pressing p...

Our first and most pressing problem is how to do away with warfare as a method of solving conflicts between national groups or between groups within a society who have different views about how the society is to be run. If you look back, you will see that warfare was an invention, just as ways of handling government or taxes are inventions. You will see, too, that once people use an invention they go on using it until they find another which they think is superior.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

A woman, even a brilliant woman, must have two qualities in order to fulfill her promise: more energy than mere mortals, and the ability to outwit her culture.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

We end up with the contradictory picture of a society that appears to throw its doors wide open to women, but translates her every step towards success as having been damaging.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

What is new is not bisexuality, but rather the widening of our awareness and acceptance of human capacities for sexual love.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

in all cultures, human beings - in order to be human - must understand the nonhuman.
