“The person at whom we smile, smiles back. In one sense, he smiles at us. In a deeper sense, his smile reports the sudden well-being we have enabled him to experience. He smiles because our smile has made him feel smile-deserving. We have, so to speak, picked him out of the crowd. We have differentiated him and given him individual status.”
Bonaro Overstreet, U.S. writer, educator
(1902 - 1985)
