Theodor Adorno Quotes

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. While he gropingly forms his own life in the frail image of a true existence, he should never forget its frailty, nor how little the image is a substitute for true life. Against suchawareness, however, pulls the momentum of the bourgeois within him.

Theodor Adorno
