Hi
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead
This is often quoted.
Unfortunately it refers to a small group of thoughtful committed citizens in the OSS who created the national security culture of the CIA. That has indeed changed the world, alas. This "small group" included Mead herself, Gregory Bateson, and Ruth Benedict.
Andrew Phelps
whose mother aligned herself with that "small group."
