More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
I don't like where I'm going and I don't like where I've been. Why am I in a hurry?
Bertolt Brecht
Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral.
Bertolt Brecht
Would it not be simpler If the Government dissolved the people and elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
It was never decreed that a god mustn't pay hotel bills.
Bertolt Brecht
Oh! Moon of Alabama We now must say good-bye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey Oh, you know why!
Bertolt Brecht
There must always be some who are brighter and some who are stupider, the latter make up for it by being better workers.
Bertolt Brecht
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
What a miserable thing life is: you're in clover only the clover isn't good enough.
Bertolt Brecht
Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
Bertolt Brecht
For once you must try not to shirk the facts: mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
Bertolt Brecht
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
Bertolt Brecht
The right to happiness is fundamental men live so little time and die alone.
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
Grub first, then ethics.
Bertolt Brecht
Bank robbery is an initiative of amateurs. True professionals establish a bank.
Bertolt Brecht
If you wan to steal money, don't rob a bank - open one.
Bertolt Brecht
You can make a fresh start with your final breath.
Bertolt Brecht
Reality changes in order to represent it, modes of representation must change.
Bertolt Brecht
Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.
Bertolt Brecht
