If the future is to remain op...

If the future is to remain open and free, we need people who can tolerate the unknown, who will not need the support of completely worked out systems or traditional blueprints from the past.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Don't depend on governments o...

Don't depend on governments or corporations to fix problems. Social revolutions are led by passionate individuals and that's what makes the difference.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Motherhood is a biological fa...

Motherhood is a biological fact, while fatherhood is a social invention.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Anthropology... has always be...

Anthropology... has always been highly dependent upon photography... As the use of still photography - and moving pictures - has become increasingly essential as a part of anthropological methods, the need for photographers with a disciplined knowledge of anthropology and for anthropologists with training in photography has increased. We expect that in the near future sophisticated training in photography will be a requirement for all anthropologists. (1962)

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

...recognize and respect Eart...

...recognize and respect Earth's beautiful systems of balance, between the presence of animals on land, the fish in the sea, birds in the air, mankind, water, air, and land. Most importantly there must always be awareness of the actions by people that can disturb this precious balance.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

It was not until we saw the picture of the earth, from the moon, that we realized how small and how helpless this planet is - something that we must hold in our arms and care for.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

It is easier to change a man's religion than to change his diet.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Between friends there is no b...

Between friends there is no bribery. ... the relationship of friends is intrinsically fair and equal. Neither feels stronger or more clever or more beautiful than the other.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

A woman, even a brilliant wom...

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

What is new is not bisexualit...

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

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

in all cultures, human beings...

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

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

The assumption that men were ...

The assumption that men were created equal, with an equal ability to make an effort and win an earthly reward, although denied every day by experience, is maintained every day by our folklore and our daydreams.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

In the modern world we have invented ways of speeding up invention, and people's lives change so fast that a person is born into one kind of world, grows up in another, and by the time his children are growing up, lives in still a different world

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

I have been accused of having...

I have been accused of having believed when I wrote Sex and Temperament that there are no sex differences... This, many readers felt, was too much. It was too pretty. I must have found what I was looking for. But this misconception comes from a lack of understanding of what anthropology means, of the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen, record in astonishment and wonder, that which one would not have been able to guess.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Somehow, we have to get older...

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 329 quotes

My grandmother wanted me to get a good education, so she kept me as far away from schools as possible.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Each home has been reduced to...

Each home has been reduced to the bare essentials -- to barer essentials than most primitive people would consider possible. Only one woman's hands to feed the baby, answer the telephone, turn off the gas under the pot that is boiling over, soothe the older child who has broken a toy, and open both doors at once. She is a nutritionist, a child psychologist, an engineer, a production manager, an expert buyer, all in one. Her husband sees her as free to plan her own time, and envies her; she sees him as having regular hours and envies him.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Everyone needs to have access...

Everyone needs to have access both to grandparents and grandchildren in order to be a full human being.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Human beings do not carry civ...

Human beings do not carry civilization in their genes. All that we do carry in our genes are certain capacities- the capacity to learn to walk upright, to use our brains, to speak, to relate to our fellow men, to construct and use tools, to explore the universe, and to express that exploration in religion, in art, in science, in philosophy.
