"воображаемые вещи реальны в своих последствиях"

clear_text: что сбудется в жизни со мною

Вот, благодаря Д.В. Драгунскому (см. по ссылке выше) нашел источник любимой цитаты:

A 1928 book called The Child in America, co-authored with his research assistant, Dorothy Swaine Thomas, includes the sentence that has become a fundamental law of sociology and known as the Thomas theorem: "If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences" (Thomas&Thomas 1928: 572).
