5 Theodor Adorno Quotes on Love

Theodor Adorno quotes on love

25. 'Everywhere bourgeois society insists on the exertion of will; only love is supposed to be involuntary, pure immediacy of feeling. In its longing for this, which means a dispensation from work, the bourgeois idea of love transcends bourgeois society. But in erecting truth directly amid the general untruth, it perverts the former into the latter.'

33. 'He who has loved and who betrays love does harm not only to the image of the past, but to the past itself.'

57. 'Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.'

58. 'Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.'

117. 'There is no love that is not an echo.'
