More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn When teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
Art and science work in quite different ways: agreed. But, bad as it may sound, I have to admit that I cannot get along as an artist without the use of one or two sciences. ... In my view, the great and complicated things that go on in the world cannot be adequately recognized by people who do not use every possible aid to understanding.
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
With drooping shoulders The majority sit hunched, their foreheads furrowed like Stony ground that has been repeatedly ploughed-up to no purpose.
Bertolt Brecht
Some party hack decreed that the people had lost the government's confidence and could only regain it with redoubled effort. If that is the case, would it not be simpler, If the government simply dissolved the people And elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.
Bertolt Brecht
Fearful is the seductive power of goodness.
Bertolt Brecht
It isn't important to come out on top, what matters is to be the one who comes out alive.
Bertolt Brecht
The more innocent they are, the more they deserve to be shot.
Bertolt Brecht
Sin is what is new, strong, surprising, strange. The theatre must take an interest in sin if the young are to be able to go there.
Bertolt Brecht
Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came? Why then, the war would come to you!
Bertolt Brecht
When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.
Bertolt Brecht
