“Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.”
― Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life

“Disgusted with being right, with doing what succeeds, with the effectiveness of methods, try something else.”
― Paul Valery

“The only responsible course is to deny oneself the ideological misuse of one’s own existence, and for the rest to conduct oneself in private as modestly, unobtrusively and unpretentiously as is required, no longer by good upbringing, but by the shame of still having air to breathe, in hell.”
― Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life

“To attain the satisfactions of the mystic state without having to endure its rigours; to be the ecstatic follower of no god, the mystic or epopt* with no initiation; to pass the days meditating on a paradise you don’t believe in – all of this tastes good to the soul that knows what it means to know nothing.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
