mental selves

Society is an interweaving and interworking of mental selves. I imagine your mind, and especially what your mind thinks about my mind, and what your mind thinks about what my mind thinks about your mind. I dress my mind before yours and expect that you will dress yours before mine. Whoever cannot or will not perform these feats is not properly in the game.


-Charles Horton Cooley, 1927

Excellent quote! This one really hits home at the moment, since I'm out there looking for a job.
