Famous quotes containing the word horton:

    By recognizing a favorable opinion of yourself, and taking pleasure in it, you in a measure give yourself and your peace of mind into the keeping of another, of whose attitude you can never be certain. You have a new source of doubt and apprehension.
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
