    • 1951, Theodor W. Adorno, translated by Dennis Redmond, Minima Moralia, Suhrkamp, section 113:
      Die von der psychologischen Allerweltsweisheit bemerkte Affinität von Askese und Rausch, die Haßliebe von Heiligen und Huren hat den objektiv triftigen Grund, daß die Askese der Erfüllung mehr von ihrem Recht gibt als die kulturelle Abschlagszahlung.
      The affinity between asceticism and euphoria, noted by the humdrum wisdom of psychology, the love-hate between saints and whores, has the objectively valid ground, that asceticism accords to fulfillment more of its rights than cultural installment-payments.
    • 2011 July 21, Johannes Thumfart, “Das Monster lieb gewonnen”, in Die Zeit:
      Mexiko-Stadt ist kein guter Ort zum Leben. Dieses Klischee wird nur zu gerne von Einheimischen bekräftigt, die ihre Heimatstadt voll Hassliebe als El Monstruo bezeichnen—das Monster.
