Life in the twentieth century ...

Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump: you have to get it right the first time.

The way to do fieldwork is never to come up for air until it is all over.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

As long as any adult thinks th...

As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

The pains of childbirth were a...

The pains of childbirth were altogether different from the enveloping effects of other kinds of pain. These were pains one could follow with one's mind.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Children not only have to lear...

Children not only have to learn what their parents learned in school, but also have to learn how to learn. This has to be recognized as a new problem which is only partly solved.

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

No matter how free divorce, ho...

No matter how free divorce, how frequently marriages break up, in most societies there
is the assumption of permanent mating, of the idea that the marriage should last as
long as both live. . . . No known society has ever invented a form of marriage strong
enough to stick that did not contain the 'till death us do part' assumption.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

If one cannot state a matter c...

If one cannot state a matter clearly enough so that even an intelligent twelve-year-old can understand it, one should remain within the cloistered walls of the university and laboratory until one gets a better grasp of one's subject matter.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

...recognize and respect Earth...

...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

No society that feeds its chil...

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 329 quotes

One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal and get away with it.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

For art to be reality, the whole sensuous being must be caught up in the experience.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Blackberry winter, the time when the hoarforst lies on the blackberry blossoms; without this frost the berries will not set. It is the forerunner of a rich harvest.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

American society is very like ...

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 329 quotes

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

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

People in America, of course, ...

People in America, of course, live in all sorts of fashions, because they are foreigners, or unlucky, or depraved, or without ambition; people live like that, but Americans live in white detached houses with green shutters. Rigidly, blindly, the dream takes precedence.
