Theodor Adorno
  • He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest.

  • An emancipated society, on the other hand, would not be a unitary state, but the realization of universality in the reconciliation of differences.

  • No emancipation without that of society.

  • Not only is the self entwined in society it owes society its existence in the most literal sense.

  • Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.
