More quotes by Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
The more innocent they are, the more they deserve to be shot.
Bertolt Brecht
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn When teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.
Bertolt Brecht
Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came? Why then, the war would come to you!
Bertolt Brecht
