"The more the machinery of thought asserts itself, the more does thinking become reified, a fixed operation, the more does it insist on its equivalence to the machine."
"Art is not religion. It is neither a substitute for it, nor is it able to be one."
"The culture industry not only adapts workers to the system; it educates them in order that the system might work."
