More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
Bertolt Brecht
It was never decreed that a god mustn't pay hotel bills.
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
Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.
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
Only bad generals need heroes.
Bertolt Brecht
One can describe the world of today to the people of today only if one describes it as capable of alteration.
Bertolt Brecht
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
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
It's never too late for those whose time has come.
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
For what's the use of talking with a man who has a disease and thinks about the stars?
Bertolt Brecht
For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.
Bertolt Brecht
Who does Not Know the Truth, is simply a Fool... Yet who Knows the Truth and Calls it a Lie, is a Criminal.
Bertolt Brecht
Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.
Bertolt Brecht
Sometimes I have visions of myself driving through hell, selling sulphur and brimstone, or through heaven peddling refreshments to the roaming souls. If me and the children I've got left could find a place where there's no shooting, I wouldn't mind a few years of peace and quiet.
Bertolt Brecht
Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
