Margaret Mead Quotes

I hope to grow up and see myself accepting myself and accepting time going by and everything falls.

The world does not get to be a better or a worse place; it just gets more senescent.

Things change. Nothing ever stays the same, yo. You ain't never gonna stay 25 or 30 or 40. You always gonna change. Every day, you change.

Our lives are about development, mutation and the possibility of change; that is almost a definition of what life is: change...

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

We don't grow older, we grow riper.

It's the same as Keith Richards. People still ask him the same questions they asked him 30 years ago, even though he's a completely different person. And I'm a completely different person than I was 15 years ago.

Aging is a synonym for living.

Life is change, to cease to change is to cease to live; yet if you may shed a tear beside the death-bed of an old friend, let not your heart be silent on the dissolving of a faith.
