Theodor W. Adorno
“It is better to become involved in things than to hover above some lower reality at the cost of refusing to engage with it or to expose ourselves to it.”
Theodor W. Adorno, Ontology and Dialectics 1960-61

Ernst Bloch
“There is nothing there yet if nothing has vanished but distress.”
Ernst Bloch, The Spirit of Utopia

Ernst Bloch
“Precisely because the owl of Minerva does not fly in the dusk, among the ruins of contemplation, in the thoroughly false circle of circles, but rather because a thought is rising which belongs to the dawn, to that open time of day which is least alien of all to Minerva, to the goddess of light.”
Ernst Bloch, Subjekt-Objekt: Erläuterungen zu Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“I hold the view that the World Spirit has given the times the order to advance; such an order is obeyed; this being strides forward like an armored, firmly closed phalanx, irresistibly and as imperceptibly as the sun moves, through thick and thin; it is flanked by innumerable light troops for and against it; most of them have no idea of what is at stake, and only get knocked on over the head, as if by an invisible hand. All the hesitant fibbing and sophisticated shadow boxing in the world is of no help against it; it can only reach about as high as the shoelaces of this colossus and smear a bit of mud or shoe polish on them, but it cannot loosen them, much less remove the divine shoes with the elastic soles or the seven-league boots, if the colossus puts them on. The safest game (both inwardly and outwardly) is, I dare say, to keep one's eye on the advancing giant.”
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Christa Wolf
“One day people will want to know who she was who it is that's been forgotten. They'll want to see her, and that's only natural. They'll wonder if that other figure really was there, the one we obstinately insist on when we mourn. Then people will have to produce her, create her, for once. So that the doubts may be silenced, so that she may be seen.

When, if not now?”
Christa Wolf
