Theodor Adorno
  • Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

  • Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

  • Everything that has ever been called folk art has always reflected domination.

  • The splinter in your eye is the best magnifying-glass.

  • Only a humanity to whom death has become as indifferent as its members, that has itself died, can inflict it administratively on innumerable people.
