"Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also." ― Charles Horton Cooley Topic(s): Society More From Charles Horton Cooley "Every general increase of freedom is accompanied by some degeneracy, attributable to the same causes as the freedom." "Institutions – government, churches, industries, and the like – have properly no other function than to contribute to human freedom; and in so far as they fail, on the whole, to perform this function, they are wrong and need reconstruction." "An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one."
