Mead almost certainly didn&#x27;t say that one:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikiquote.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Margaret_Mead#Disputed" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikiquote.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Margaret_Mead#Disputed</a><p>(In quotology, &quot;disputed&quot; means &quot;almost certainly didn&#x27;t say&quot;.)<p>It&#x27;s mind-blowing how few famous quotes were actually said by the people they&#x27;re attributed to. Churchill, for example, veering wildly off topic, never said the thing about ending sentences with a preposition, never said the thing about having no heart&#x2F;brain if you don&#x27;t&#x2F;do believe in socialism, and (prepare to gasp with dismay) never said the thing about drinking the coffee if Lady Astor put poison in it. And Lincoln never said the thing about fooling all of the people some of the time. Yeah, the rabbit hole goes that deep.
