Biological Role

Famous quotes containing the words biological and/or role:

    When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    Nothing is ever simple. What do you do when you discover you like parts of the role you’re trying to escape?
    Marilyn French (b. 1929)
