Theodor W. Adorno

"Death is imposed only on creatures, not their creations, and has therefore always appeared in art in a broken form: as allegory."

"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."

"If time is money, it seems moral to save time, above all one's own, and such parsimony is excused by consideration for others. One is straight-forward."

"Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar."

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

"Only a humanity to whom death has become as indifferent as its members, that has itself died, can inflict it administratively on innumerable people."

"The almost insoluble task is to let neither the power of others, nor our own powerlessness, stupefy us."

"Work while you work, play while you play - this is a basic rule of repressive self-discipline."

"Wrong life cannot be lived rightly."
