Citáty Theodor W. Adorno
„Milovaný môžeš byť len tam, kde sa smieš ukázať slabý bez toho, aby si provokoval silu.“
Varianta: Obľúbený budeš len tam, kde sa smieš ukázať slabým bez toho, aby si provokoval silu.
„Regressive listeners behave like children. Again and again and with stubborn malice, they demand the one dish they have once been served.“

„Order, however, is not good in itself.“
Section 14
Culture Industry Reconsidered (1963)
Kontext: The power of the culture industry's ideology is such that conformity has replaced consciousness. The order that springs from it is never confronted with what it claims to be or with the real interests of human beings. Order, however, is not good in itself. It would be so only as a good order. The fact that the culture industry is oblivious to this and extols order in abstracto, bears witness to the impotence and untruth of the messages it conveys. While it claims to lead the perplexed, it deludes them with false conflicts which they are to exchange for their own. It solves conflicts for them only in appearance, in a way that they can hardly be solved in their real lives.
