Structural Anthropology Quotes

“Not all poisonous juices are burning or bitter nor is everything which is burning and bitter poisonous.”
― Claude Levi-Strauss, Structural Anthropology

“For everything is history: What was said yesterday is history, what was said a minute ago is history. But, above all, one is led to misjudge the present, because only the study of historical development permits the weighing and evalua­ tion of the interrelationships among the components of the present- day society.”
― Claude Lévi-Strauss, Structural Anthropology
