The final aphorism in Theodor W. Adorno's Minima Moralia: Reflections from Damaged Life is:

“Perspectives must be fashioned that displace and estrange the world, reveal it to be, with its rifts and crevices, as indigent and distorted as it will appear one day in the messianic light”.

This aphorism encapsulates the method of the entire book. It conveys Adorno's message that any image of a coherent society is ideological, as long as even one person is in despair.
