Quotes by Richard B. Lee  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Death is inevitable. But the meaning people attach to death, its causes and aftermath, is culturally given. Without meaning, without culture making sense of things, life would be impossible.”
Richard B. Lee, The Dobe Ju/'Hoansi

“There are no totally generous acts. All "acts" have an element of calculation. One black ox slaughtered on Christmas does not wipe out a year of careful manipulation of gifts given to serve your own ends. After all, to kill an animal and share the meat with people is really no more than Ju/'hoansi do for each other every day and with far less fan fare.”
Richard B. Lee, The Dobe Ju/'Hoansi

“Finally, we thank the San people themselves for their unfailing hospitality (after their own fashion) toward more than a dozen researchers over as many years. We have all come to appreciate their cheerfulness in the face of adversity, their peculiar sense of humor, and their fierce egalitarianism.”
Richard B. Lee
