More quotes by Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
The man who laughs has simply not yet had the terrible news.
Bertolt Brecht
Who built the seven gates of Thebes? In the books are listed the names of kings. Did the kings heave up the building blocks?
Bertolt Brecht
Little changes are the enemies of great changes.
Bertolt Brecht
For the task assigned them Men aren't smart enough or sly Any rogue can blind them With a clever lie.
Bertolt Brecht
Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.
Bertolt Brecht
It isn't important to come out on top, what matters is to be the one who comes out alive.

If you join the rat race — you're in the race of rats.
Bertolt Brecht
