More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came? Why then, the war would come to you!
Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.

Bertolt Brecht
It was never decreed that a god mustn't pay hotel bills.
Bertolt Brecht
First the pork chops, then morality
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
Bank robbery is an initiative of amateurs. True professionals establish a bank.
Bertolt Brecht
Righteous people have no sense of humor.

Bertolt Brecht
Though the rich of this earth find no difficulty in creating misery, they can't bear to see it.
Bertolt Brecht
Sometimes it's more important to be human, than to have good taste.
Bertolt Brecht
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
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
The finest plans are always ruined by the littleness of those who ought to carry them out, for emperor himself can actually be nothing.
Bertolt Brecht
When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
The righteous one has no sense of humor.
Bertolt Brecht
Never believe on faith, see for yourself! What you yourself don't learn you don't know.
Bertolt Brecht
