Love Is Your Strength -Quote By Theodor Adorno
Love You Will Find Only Where You May Show Yourself Weak Without Provoking Strength.
Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, (born Sept. 11, 1903, Frankfurt am Main, Ger.—died Aug. 6, 1969, Visp, Switz.), German philosopher who also wrote on sociology, psychology, and musicology.
Adorno obtained a degree in philosophy from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt in 1924. His early writings, which emphasize aesthetic development as important to historical evolution, reflect the influence of Walter Benjamin’s application of Marxism to cultural criticism. After teaching two years at the University of Frankfurt, Adorno immigrated to England in 1934 to escape the Nazi persecution of the Jews. He taught at the University of Oxford for three years and then went to the United States (1938), where he worked at Princeton (1938–41) and then was codirector of the Research Project on Social Discrimination at the University of California, Berkeley (1941–48). Adorno and his colleague Max Horkheimer returned to the University of Frankfurt in 1949. There they rebuilt the Institute for Social Research and revived the Frankfurt school of critical theory, which contributed to the German intellectual revival after World War II.
One of Adorno’s themes was civilization’s tendency to self-destruction, as evinced by Fascism. In their widely influential book Dialektik der Aufklärung (1947; Dialectic of Enlightenment), Adorno and Horkheimer located this impulse in the concept of reason itself, which the Enlightenment and modern scientific thought had transformed into an irrational force that had come to dominate not only nature but humanity itself. The rationalization of human society had ultimately led to Fascism and other totalitarian regimes that represented a complete negation of human freedom. Adorno concluded that rationalism offers little hope for human emancipation, which might come instead from art and the prospects it offers for preserving individual autonomy and happiness. Adorno’s other major publications are Philosophie der neuen Musik (1949; Philosophy of Modern Music), The Authoritarian Personality (1950, with others), Negative Dialektik (1966; Negative Dialectics), and Ästhetische Theorie (1970; “Aesthetic Theory”).
Your Past -Quote By Ray Stannard Baker
Looking Back, I Have This To Regret, That Too Often When I Loved, I Did Not Say So.
Ray Stannard Baker
Ray Stannard Baker, journalist, author, and
biographer of Woodrow Wilson, was born in Lansing, Michigan on April
17, 1870 and died in Amherst, Massachusetts on July 12, 1946. After
graduating from Michigan Agricultural College (later Michigan State)
he briefly attended the University of Michigan Law school (1891)
before launching a career as one of the leading journalists of his
generation. After four years as reporter for the Chicago
News-Record (1892-96), he joined the staff of McClure's
Magazine, a leader in the "New Journalism" then transforming the
national press. During the 190s he dreamed of writing the "Great
American Novel," and published numerous stories for young people in
the Youth's
Companion, a magazine he himself enjoyed as a boy. But with
McClure's colleagues Lincoln Steffens and Ida Tarbell, Baker
soon gained a national reputation as one of the leading "muckrakers,"
the term Theodore Roosevelt applied to crusading journalists in 1906.
That same year Baker published the first of a series of "adventures
in contentment" under the pen name "David Grayson." Totaling nine
volumes in all, the David Grayson adventures attracted millions of
readers world-wide. Uneasy with the "muckraker" label, Baker joined
several colleagues to found the American Magazine (1906). In
later years, he abandoned the hard-hitting journalism of the
McClure's years, but contined to chronicle the social and
political life of the nation. In Following
the Color Line (1908) and numerous articles during the 1910s,
he was the first prominent journalist to focus on America's racial
divide. After supporting President Theodore Roosevelt, Baker flirted
briefly with socialism for several years before embracing the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson in 1912. Serving as Wilson's press
secretary at Versailles, he eventually published fifteen volumes on
Wilson and internationalism, including his 8 volume Woodrow
Wilson: Life and Letters (1927-39), and advised on Darryl F.
Zanuck's film Wilson
(1944).

Love Quote
Love Is The Beauty Of The Soul.
Saint Augustine, also called Saint Augustine of Hippo, original Latin name Aurelius Augustinus (born Nov. 13, 354, Tagaste, Numidia [now Souk Ahras, Algeria]—died Aug. 28, 430, Hippo Regius [now Annaba, Algeria]), feast day August 28, bishop of Hippo from 396 to 430, one of the Latin Fathers of the Church, one of the Doctors of the Church, and perhaps the most significant Christian thinker after St. Paul. Augustine’s adaptation of classical thought to Christian teaching created a theological system of great power and lasting influence. His numerous written works, the most important of which are Confessions and City of God, shaped the practice of biblical exegesis and helped lay the foundation for much of medieval and modern Christian thought.
