Horton

Famous quotes containing the word horton:

    One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    To retire to the monastery, or the woods, or the sea, is to escape from the sharp suggestions that spur on ambition.
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    When we hate a person, with an intimate, imaginative, human hatred, we enter into his mind, or sympathize—any strong interest will arouse the imagination and create some sort of sympathy.
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
