Samoa culture demonstrates how much the tragic or the easy solution of the Oedipus situation depends upon the inter-relationship between parents and children, and is not created out of whole cloth by the young child's biological impulses.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

This is a precious possession ...

This is a precious possession which we cannot afford to tarnish, but society always is attempting to make the physician into a killer to kill the defective child at birth, to leave the sleeping pills beside the bed of the cancer patient ... It is the duty of society to protect the physicians from such requests.

There is no hierarchy of values by which one culture has the right to insist on all its own values and deny those of another.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

What we lack is not so much le...

What we lack is not so much leisure to do as time to reflect and time to feel. What we seldom 'take' is time to experience the things that have happened, the things that are happening, the things that are still ahead of us.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Leisure and the cultivation of...

Leisure and the cultivation of human capacities are inextricably interdependent.

Dear Math, please grow up and solve your own problems. I'm tired of solving them for you.
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

Never depend upon institutions...

If man has not found ways to deal with environmental problems such as water and air pollution by 1998, it will be too late. The future is not determined and it lies in our own hands.

Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

We make our own criminals, and their crimes are congruent with the national culture we all share. It has been said that a people get the kind of political leadership they deserve. I think they also get the kinds of crime and criminals they themselves bring into being.

Humanity . . . lies in man's capacity to question the known and imagine the unknown.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

We must recognize that beneath the superficial classifications of sex and race the same potentialities exist, recurring generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

I did not write it [Coming of ...

I did not write it [Coming of Age in Samoa] as a popular book, but only with the hope that it would be intelligible to those who might make the best use of its theme, that adolescence need not be the time of stress and strain which Western society made it; that growing up could be freer and easier and less complicated; and also that there were prices to pay for the very lack of complication I found in Samoa - less intensity, less individuality, less involvement with life.

Margaret Mead 329 quotes

In each age there is a series ...

In each age there is a series of pressing questions which must be asked and answered. On the correctness of the questions depends the survival of those who ask; on the quality of the answers depends the quality of the life those survivors will lead.
