I don't consider my marriages ...

I don't consider my marriages as failures! It's idiotic to assume that because a marriage ends, it's failed.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Man's most human characteristi...

Man's most human characteristic is not his ability to learn, which he shares with many other species, but his ability to teach and store what others have developed and taught him.

Home, I learned, can be anywhere you make it. Home is also the place to which you come back again and again.

You can no longer save your family, tribe or nation. You can only save the whole world.

We grow up never questioning that which is unquestioned around us.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Human beings do not carry civi...

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.

Men have always been afraid that women could get along without them.

The contempt for law and the contempt for the human consequences of lawbreaking go from the bottom to the top of American society.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Female animals defending their...

Female animals defending their young are notoriously ferocious and lack the playful delight in combat which characterizes the mock combats of males of the same species. There seems very little ground for claiming that the mother of young children is more peaceful, more responsible, and more thoughtful for the welfare of the human race than is her husband or brother.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

I have spent most of my life studying the lives of other peoples - faraway peoples - so that Americans might better understand themselves.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

It is not until science has become a discipline to which the research ability of any mind from any class in society can be attracted that it can become rigorously scientific.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Maleness in America is not abs...

Maleness in America is not absolutely defined; it has to be kept and re-earned every day, and one essential element in the definition is beating women in every game that both sexes play.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

There is no greater power in the world than the zest of a postmenopausal woman.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Photographs [are] of course heavily dependent upon the culture, the disciplinary point of view and the idiosyncratic vision of the particular photographer-analyst.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Anthropology... has always bee...

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)

In the presence of grandparent and grandchild, past and future merge in the present.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

The important thing about women today is, as they get older, they still keep house. It's one reason why they don't die, but men die when they retire. Women just polish the teacups.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Our first and most pressing problem is how to do away with warfare as a method of solving conflicts between national groups within a society who have different views about how the society is to run.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

The institution of marriage in...

The institution of marriage in all societies is a pattern within which the strains put by civilization on males and females alike must be resolved, a pattern within which men must learn, in return for a variety of elaborate rewards, new forms in which sexual spontaneity is still possible, and women must learn to discipline their receptivity to a thousand other considerations.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

The prophet who fails to prese...

The prophet who fails to present a bearable alternative and yet preaches doom is part of the trap that he postulates. Not only does he picture us caught in a tremendous man-made or God-made trap from which there is no escape, but we must also listen to him day in, day out, describe how the trap is inexorably closing. To such prophecies the human race, as presently bred and educated and situated, is incapable of listening. So some dance and some immolate themselves as human torches; some take drugs and some artists spil
