Quote by Adorno, Theodor

"The culture industry not only adapts to the desires of the masses, but also molds and controls those desires."

"Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent system of administration."

"The more total society becomes, the greater the reification of the mind and the more paradoxical its effort to escape reification on its own."

"Thought is not immaculately preserved in the subject; rather, the subject is thoroughly mediated by the totally administered world."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
