More From Margaret Mead

[the man] was a case where it was a funny role teamed up with another actor. it's a great teaming. and the role was a bigger role. it wasn't so much that it was a co-starring role. this is not a new direction. i'm not saying, 'no. i'm only now co-starring.' it just happens it's a co-starring role.
Men Roles Actors
I had to audition for fandango. when i read the script, the role that was interesting - so everyone thought - was the role that costner played. he was the cool guy. and i read the script, and my representation at the time said, "that's the role you should read for." and i was like, "really? how about i read for this other role." and they went, "well, you're not going to get that role."

I think poetry can be a kind of secular way in which people can be led to approach the difficult parts of their life, where there's been loss, where there's sadness of a deep kind. if poetry can help people to be more at ease in expressing even to themselves a lot of the darkness and pain of ordinary human existence, then it's serving some kind of cultural role, perhaps more than a cultural role, perhaps it is serving something of a spiritual role.
Spiritual Pain Sadness
Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.

Fancy what a game of chess would be if all the chessmen had passions and intellects, more or less small and cunning; if you were not only uncertain about your adversary's men, but a little uncertain also about your own. you would be especially likely to be beaten, if you depended arrogantly on your mathematical imagination, and regarded your passionate pieces with contempt. yet this imaginary chess is easy compared with a game a man has to play against his fellow-men with other fellow-men for instruments.
Passion Men Games
We may, indeed, say that the hour of death is uncertain, but when we say this we think of that hour as situated in a vague and remote expanse of time; it does not occur to us that it can have any connexion with the day that has already dawned and can mean that death -- or its first assault and partial possession of us, after which it will never leave hold of us again -- may occur this very afternoon, so far from uncertain, this afternoon whose time-table, hour by hour, has been settled in advance.

The beggarly question of parentage--what is it, after all? what does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? all the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care. that excessive regard of parents for their own children, and their dislike of other people's, is, like class-feeling, patriotism, save-your-own-soul-ism, and other virtues, a mean exclusiveness at bottom.

We reject segregation even more militantly than you say you do! we want separation, which is not the same! the honorable elijah muhammad teaches us that segregation is when your life and liberty are controlled, regulated, by someone else. to segregate means to control. segregation is that which is forced upon inferiors by superiors. but separation is that which is done voluntarily, by two equals - for the good of both!
