Quote by Horkheimer, Max

"Reason has become an instrument. There is a tragic irony in the attempt to use the tools of reason for purposes which transcend all reason."

"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."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
