"The imaginations which people have of one another are the solid facts of society." ― Charles Horton Cooley Topic(s): Society More From Charles Horton Cooley "Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also." "Every general increase of freedom is accompanied by some degeneracy, attributable to the same causes as the freedom." "To get away from one’s working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one’s self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change." More In Society "I believe if there is any place left where the humanity is still visible, it can not be anywhere else than in an Islamic society. Time would come when the world would be obliged to accept this reality."― Jermaine Jackson "Bankers – pillars of society who are going to hell if there is a God and He has been accurately quoted."― John Ralston Saul "The first duty of society is to give each of its members the possibility of fulfilling his destiny. When it becomes incapable of performing this duty it must be transformed."― Alexis Carrel
