Do not look for the impossible, but do not let your path deviate from the quiet and steadfast insistence on full opportunities for your powers  (Franz Boas Quotes) My father had retained an emotional affection for the ceremonial of his parental home, without allowing it to influence his intellectual freedom  (Franz Boas Quotes) It is our task to inquire into the causes that have brought about the observed differentiation, and to investigate the sequence of events that have led to the establishment of the multifarious forms of human life  (Franz Boas Quotes) I object to teaching of slogans intended to befog the mind, of whatever kind they may be  (Franz Boas Quotes) Furthermore, the study of the present surroundings is insufficient: the history of the people, the influence of the regions through which it has passed on its migrations, and the people with whom it came into contact, must be considered  (Franz Boas Quotes)
