Margaret Mead

I have never been able to understand why people are so afraid of change.

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

I am not an optimist, but I am a believer in the human spirit.

The world is a global village.

We are living in a time of unprecedented change, and we must learn to adapt.

Anthropology demands 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.

I have spent my life trying to understand how people live, and I am still learning.

The human race is a single species, and we must learn to live together.

The only way to solve our problems is to work together.

I believe in the power of ideas to change the world.

The most important thing is to keep asking questions.

We are all interconnected, and what happens to one of us affects all of us.

The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create.

I have no regrets. I have lived a full and interesting life.

The world is a beautiful place, and we must protect it.

I am still learning, even at my age.

The human mind is capable of anything.

To be a human being means to be a member of a community.

The greatest adventure is to understand another culture.

I am a firm believer in the power of observation.
