"The loss of the future—the sense that things cannot be different—may be the deepest crisis of modern life."
More from C. Wright Mills
"The sociological imagination enables us to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two within society."
"The first lesson of the sociological imagination is this: the individual can understand his own experience and gauge his own fate only by locating himself within his period."
"Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both."
"The true intellectual is a person whose interests are not confined within a specialty but who has a passion for ideas."
