Theodor Adorno Quotes on Love
-
'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.'
-
'He who has loved and who betrays love does harm not only to the image of the past, but to the past itself.'
-
'Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.'
-
'Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.'
-
'There is no love that is not an echo.'
