The famous anthropologist Margaret Mead (1901-1978) was also known for her poignant observations of human nature and society. Below are some of her quotes.
*Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
*Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
*Having two bathrooms ruined the capacity to cooperate.
*I was wise enough to never grow up while fooling most people into believing I had.

*I was wise enough to never grow up while fooling most people into believing I had.
*Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that, within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.
*It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.
*One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
*“Sister” is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
