Quotes: Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin
A perennial suffering has just as much right to find expression as a victim of torture has to scream. For this reason it may have been wrong to write that after Auschwitz poetry could no longer be written. ...
The concept of a resurrection of culture after Auschwitz is illusory and senseless, and for that reason every work of art that does come into being is forced to play a bitter price. But because the world has outlived its own demise it needs art as its unconscious chronicle.
Theodor Adorno
Only for the sake of those without hope, has hope been given to us.
Walter Benjamin
