Presentation transcript:

Creative Quotations from Ruth Benedict (1887-1948) born on Jun 6 US anthropologist; an expert on American Indian tribes; wrote classic Patterns of Culture, 1934;

No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking.

I have always used the world of make-believe with a certain desperation.

I long to speak out the intense inspiration that comes to me from the lives of strong women.

The trouble is not that we are never happy -- it is that happiness is so episodical.

I gambled on having the strength to live two lives, one for myself and one for the world.
