Theodor W. Adorno Quotes

Auschwitz begins wherever someone looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks: they’re only animals.

On the way from mythology to logistics thought has lost the element of self-reflection and today machinery disables men even as it nurtures them.

It would be advisable to think of progress in the crudest, most basic terms: that no one should go hungry anymore, that there should be no more torture, no more Auschwitz. Only then will the idea of progress be free from lies.
