― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“[Nostalgic sentiments] are nothing other than the rosy illumination of a past that has been spared the shadows of the present.”
― Georg Simmel

“The culture industry perpetually cheats its consumers of what it perpetually promises. The promissory note which, with its plots and staging, it draws on pleasure is endlessly prolonged; the promise, which is actually all the spectacle consists of, is illusory: all it actually confirms is that the real point will never be reached, that the diner must be satisfied with the menu.”
― Theodor Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment: Philosophical Fragments

“The triumph of advertising in the culture industry is that consumers feel compelled to buy and use its products even though they see through them.”
― Theodor Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment: Philosophical Fragments
