Charles Horton Cooley

| The imaginations which people have of one another are the solid facts of society. |
| The mind is not a hermit's cell, but a place of hospitality and intercourse. |

| Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture. |
| We are ashamed to seem evasive in the presence of a straightforward man, cowardly in the presence of a brave one, gross in the eyes of a refined one, and so on. We always imagine, and in imagining share, the judgments of the other mind. |
