To adapt to the weakness of the opressed is to affirm in it the pre-condition of power, and to develop in oneself the coarseness, insensibility and violence needed to exert domination.
For the intelectual, inviolable isolation in now the only way of showing some measure solidarity. All colaboration, all the human worth of social mixing and participation, merely masks a tacit acceptance of inhumanity
Theodor W. Adorno
1903 - 1969
