Famous quotes containing the words adorno and/or family:
“True thoughts are those alone which do not understand themselves.”
—Theodor W. Adorno (1903–1969)
“Providing for one’s family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for “doing the best” for his children?”
—Eva Figes (b. 1932)
