A collection of quotes by Charles Horton Cooley, Life and .

Charles Horton Cooley (1864-1929) was an American sociologist and pioneer in the field of symbolic interactionism. Born in Michigan, Cooley's work heavily influenced the development of sociology and social psychology. He is best known for his concept of the "looking-glass self," which suggests that individuals develop their sense of self through their interactions with others and the perceptions they believe others hold of them. Cooley's writings, including his influential book "Human Nature and the Social Order," continue to shape our understanding of the social construction of self and the role of society in shaping individual identity.
