"The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in
having new eyes."
Marcel Proust

The Sociological Imagination
“When wars happen, an insurance salesman becomes a rocket
launcher; a store clerk, a radar man; a wife lives alone; a child grows
up without a father. Neither the life of an individual, nor the history
of a society can be understood without understanding both…
Yet men do not usually define the troubles they endure in terms of
historical change and institutional contradiction. The well being they
enjoy, they do not usually impute to the big ups and downs of the
societies in which they live…
The sociological imagination enables us to grasp history and
biography and the relations between the two within society. That is
its task and its promise.”
C. Wright Mills (1959)
