Art Cannot Change The World,

When The Whole Is At Stake, There Is No Crime Except That Of Rejecting The Whole, Or Not Defending It. ... Those Who Identify Themselves With The Whole, Who Are Installed As The Leaders And Defenders Of The Whole Can Make Mistakes, But They Cannot Do Wrong - They Are Not Guilty. They May Become Guilty Again When This Identification No Longer Holds, When They Are Gone.

The People Recognize Themselves In Their Commodities; They Find Their Soul In Their Automobile, Hi-fi Set, Split-level Home, Kitchen Equipment.

The Judgment That Human Life Is Worth Living, Or Rather Can And Ought To Be Made Worth Living, ... Underlies All Intellectual Effort; It Is The A Priori Of Social Theory, And Its Rejection (which Is Perfectly Logical) Rejects Theory Itself.

The Existing Liberties And The Existing Gratifications Are Tied To The Requirements Of Repression: They Themselves Become Instruments Of Repression.

However, If "free Choice" Means More Than A Small Selection Between Pre-established Necessities, And If The Inclinations And Impulses Used In Work Are Other Than Those Preshaped By A Repressive Reality Principle, Then Satisfaction In Daily Work Is Only A Rare Privilege.
