Text Quotes
To the extent a person makes, invents or thinks something that is new to him, he may be said to have performed a creative act (Margaret Mead Quotes)
Because of their age long training in human relations for that is what feminine intuition really is women have a special contribution to make any group enterprise (Margaret Mead Quotes)
It has been a woman’s task throughout history to go on believing in life when there was almost no hope (Margaret Mead Quotes)
What is new is not bisexuality, but rather the widening of our awareness and acceptance of human capacities for sexual love (Margaret Mead Quotes)
We may say that many, if not all, of the personality traits which we have called masculine or feminine are as lightly linked to sex as are the clothing, the manners, and the form of headdress that a society at a given period assigns to either sex (Margaret Mead 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 Quotes)
I was a child that both my parents wanted. I was told from the time I was born that I was totally satisfactory. I had a chance to be what I wanted to be (Margaret Mead Quotes)
I don’t consider my marriages as failures! It’s idiotic to assume that because a marriage ends, it’s failed (Margaret Mead Quotes)
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 (Margaret Mead Quotes)
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 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 Quotes)
The most intractable problem today is not pollution or technology or war; but the lack of belief that the future is very much in the hands of the individual (Margaret Mead Quotes)
When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed (Margaret Mead Quotes)
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 Quotes)
If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages? (Margaret Mead Quotes)
Many women, particularly young women, have claimed the right to use the most explicit sex terms, including extremely vulgar ones, in public as well as private. But it is men, far more than women, who have been liberated by this change. For now that women use these terms, men no longer need to watch their own language in the presence of women. But is this a gain for women? (Margaret Mead Quotes)
No society has ever yet been able to handle the temptations of technology to mastery, to waste, to exuberance, to exploration and exploitation. We have to learn to cherish this earth and cherish it as something that’s fragile, that’s only one, it’s all we have. We have to use our scientific knowledge to correct the dangers that have come from science and technology (Margaret Mead Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 (Margaret Mead Quotes)
