Margaret Mead
“We’ve been living through a period in which the old have been recklessly discarded and disallowed … Given an opportunity to participate meaningfully in new knowledge and new skills, and new styles of life, the elderly can embody the changing world in such a way that their grand-children – and all children of the youngest generation – are given a mandate to be part of the new and yet maintain human ties with the past which, however phrased, is part of our humanity.”
:: (1901-1978) American cultural anthropologist
