Top 4 Marija Gimbutas Quotes (2024 Update)

1. “Archaeological materials are not mute. They speak their own language. And they need to be used for the great source they are to help unravel the spirituality of those of our ancestors who predate the Indo-Europeans by many thousands of years.”

— Marija Gimbutas

2. “Fertility is only one among the Goddess’s many functions. It is inaccurate to call Paleolithic and Neolithic images ‘fertility goddesses,’ as is still done in archeological literature. Earth fertility became a prominent concern only in the food producing era; hence it is not a primary function of the Goddess and has nothing to do with sexuality. The goddesses were mainly life creators, not Venuses or beauties, and most definitely not wives of male gods.”

— Marija Gimbutas

3. “The sophisticated, complex art surrounding the Neolithic goddess is a shifting kaleidoscope of meaning: she personified every phase of life, death and regeneration. She was the creator from which all life – human, plant and animal, arose – and to whom everything returned. Her role extended far beyond eroticism.”

— Marija Gimbutas

4. “We must refocus our collective memory. The necessity for this has never been greater as we discover that the path of ‘progress’ is extinguishing the very conditions for life on earth.”

— Marija Gimbutas
