More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
People who understand everything get no stories.
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
He who fights, can lose. He who doesn't fight, has already lost.

Bertolt Brecht
Even hatred of vileness Distorts a mans features.
Bertolt Brecht
Some party hack decreed that the people had lost the government's confidence and could only regain it with redoubled effort. If that is the case, would it not be simpler, If the government simply dissolved the people And elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
It's never too late for those whose time has come.
Bertolt Brecht
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
