“No history leads from savagery to humanitarianism, but there is one leads from the slingshot to the megaton bomb.”
― Theodore Adorno

“Of the world as it exists, it is not possible to be enough afraid.”
― Theodor W. Adorno

“The unity of style not only of the Christian Middle Ages but of the Renaissance expresses in each case the different structure of social power, and not the obscure experience of the oppressed in which the general was enclosed. The great artists were never those who embodied a wholly flawless and perfect style, but those who used style as a way of hardening themselves against the chaotic expression of suffering, as a negative truth. The style of their works gave what was expressed that force without which life goes unheard”
― Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno

“One must have tradition in oneself, to hate it properly.”
― Theodor W. Adorno
