Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
Art and science work in quite different ways: agreed. But, bad as it may sound, I have to admit that I cannot get along as an artist without the use of one or two sciences. ...

Bertolt Brecht

For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.

Those against politics are in favor of the politics inflicted upon them.
