Even the loveliest dream bears like a blemish its difference from reality, the awareness that what it grants is mere illusion.
THEODOR WIESENGRUND ADORNO, Minima Moralia
None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace.
THEODOR WIESENGRUND ADORNO, Minima Moralia
The creed of evil has been, since the beginnings of highly industrialized society, not only a precursor of barbarism but a mask of good. The worth of the latter was transferred to the evil that drew to itself all the hatred and resentment of an order which drummed good into its adherents so that it could with impunity be evil.
THEODOR WIESENGRUND ADORNO, Minima Moralia
Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.
