"[T]he existing society is reproduced not only in the mind, the consciousness of men, but also in their senses; and no persuasion, no theory, no reasoning can break this prison, unless the fixed, petrified sensibility of the individuals is 'dissolved,' opened to a new dimension on history, until the oppressive familiarity with the given object world is broken - broken in a second alienation: that from the alienated society."
Herbert Marcuse, Counterrevolution and Revolt (Boston: Beacon Press, 1972), pp. 16-17.
