“I would say that the way in which maturity could be put into concrete form today—and it is a form which can in no way be taken for granted because it would still have to be established everywhere, really in every single aspect of our lives—that the only real concrete form of maturity would consist of those few people who are of a mind to do so working with all their energies towards making education an education for protest and for resistance.”

—Theodor W. Adorno, “Education for Maturity and Responsibility”
