What kind of times are they, when A talk about trees is almost a crime Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Recently my fingers have developed a prejudice against comparatives. They all follow this pattern: a squirrel is smaller than a tree a bird is more musical than a tree. Each of us is the strongest one in his or her own skin. Characteristics should take off their hats to one another, instead of spitting in each other's faces.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Spring is noticed, if at all By people sitting in railway trains.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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

Love is the desire to give, not to receive, something. Love is the art of producing something with the other's talents.
