History Does Not Merely Touch On Language,

The Power Of The Culture Industry's Ideology Is Such That Conformity Has Replaced Consciousness

In Organized Groups Such As The Army Or The Church There Is Either No Mention Of Love Whatsoever Between The Members, Or It Is Expressed Only In A Sublimated And Indirect Way, Through The Mediation Of Some Religious Imagine In The Love Of Whom The Members Unite And Whose All-embracing Love They Are Supposed To Imitate In Their Attitude Towards Each Other. It Is One Of The Basic Tenets Of Fascist Leadership To Keep Primary Libidinal Energy On An Unconscious Level So As To Divert Its Manifestations In A Way Suitable To Political Ends.

The Forms Of Art Reflect The History Of Man More Truthfully Than Do Documents Themselves.

If Philosophy Is Still Necessary, It Is So Only In The Way It Has Been From Time Immemorial: As Critique, As Resistance To The Expanding Heteronomy, Even If Only As Thought's Powerless Attempt To Remain Its Own Master And To Convict Of Untruth, By Their Own Criteria, Both A Fabricated Mythology And A Conniving, Resigned Acquiescence.

The Culture Industry Not So Much Adapts To The Reactions Of Its Customers As It Counterfeits Them.
