The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments. What's left of kisses? Wounds, however, leave scars.

More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
Bertolt Brecht
Those against politics are in favor of the politics inflicted upon them.
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
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
Bertolt Brecht
Reality changes in order to represent it, modes of representation must change.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't trust him. We're friends.
Bertolt Brecht
There are men who struggle for a day and they are good. There are men who struggle for a year and they are better. There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still. But there are those who struggle all their lives: These are the indispensable ones.
Bertolt Brecht
A good soldier has his heart and soul in it. When he receives an order, he gets a hard on, and when he drives his lance through his enemy's guts, he comes.
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
Grub first, then ethics.
Bertolt Brecht
If you join the rat race — you're in the race of rats.
Bertolt Brecht
Their peace and their war Are like wind and storm. War grows from their peace.
Bertolt Brecht
Come in, dear wind, and be our guest You too have neither home nor rest.
Bertolt Brecht
He who speaks of enemies , himself is the enemy.
Bertolt Brecht
Only bad generals need heroes.
Bertolt Brecht
A person is really dead only when nobody thinks of him anymore.
Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
Bertolt Brecht
The defeats and victories of the fellows at the top aren't always defeats and victories for the fellows at the bottom.
Bertolt Brecht
When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.
Bertolt Brecht
The man who laughs has simply not yet had the terrible news.
Bertolt Brecht
