More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
One can describe the world of today to the people of today only if one describes it as capable of alteration.
Bertolt Brecht
Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.
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
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
He who fights, can lose. He who doesn't fight, has already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't trust him. We're friends.
Bertolt Brecht
The alienation effect in German epic theater is achieved not only through the actors, but also through music (chorus and song) andsets (transparencies, film strips, etc.). Its main purpose is to place the staged events in their historical context.
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
For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
People remain what they are even if their faces fall apart.
Bertolt Brecht
Who fights may lose, but who does not fight has lost already.
Bertolt Brecht
Pleasures First look from morning's window The rediscovered book Fascinated faces Snow, the change of the seasons The newspaper The dog Dialectics Showering, swimming Old music Comfortable shoes Comprehension New music Writing, planting Traveling Singing Being friendly
Bertolt Brecht
You don't need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.
Bertolt Brecht
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn When teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
From the start it has been the theatre's business to entertain people ... it needs no other passport than fun.
Bertolt Brecht
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
With drooping shoulders The majority sit hunched, their foreheads furrowed like Stony ground that has been repeatedly ploughed-up to no purpose.
Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
