He who has loved and who betrays love does harm not only to the image of the past, but to the past itself.
Theodor AdornoThat all men are alike is exactly what society would like to hear. It considers actual or imagined differences as stigmas indicating that not enough has yet been done; that something has still been left outside its machinery, not quite determined by its totality.
Theodor AdornoLove is the ability to discover similarities in the dis-similar. The audience has a right not to be fooled - even if it insists on being fooled.
Theodor AdornoFreud made the discovery- quite genuinely, simply through working on his own material- that the more deeply one explores the phenomena of human individuation, the more unreservedly one grasps the individual as a self-contained and dynamic entity, the closer one draws to that in the individual which is really no longer individual.
