The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn When teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
When something seems ‘the most obvious thing in the world’ it means that any attempt to understand the world has been given up.
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
When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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
Image
As regards obstacles, the shortest distance between two points can be a curve.
Bertolt Brecht

You can make a fresh start with your final breath.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
The right to happiness is fundamental men live so little time and die alone.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
There are a few things that'll move people to pity, a few, but the trouble is, when they've been used several times, they no longer work.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
The righteous one has no sense of humor.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Spring is noticed, if at all By people sitting in railway trains.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
What rapture, oh, it is to know A good thing when you see it And having seen a good thing, oh, What rapture 'tis to flee it.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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
Image
A person is really dead only when nobody thinks of him anymore.
Bertolt Brecht

If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
