More quotes by 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
In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.
Bertolt Brecht
Their peace and their war Are like wind and storm. War grows from their peace.
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
Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars because to write demands thinking.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
Bertolt Brecht
A person is really dead only when nobody thinks of him anymore.
Bertolt Brecht
Righteous people have no sense of humor.
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
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
Bertolt Brecht
Impact lies in the vicinity of mistakes.
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
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
Bertolt Brecht
Fearful is the seductive power of goodness.
Bertolt Brecht
It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.
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
People who understand everything get no stories.
Bertolt Brecht
What's a joy to the one is a nightmare to the other.
Bertolt Brecht
Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.
Bertolt Brecht
There must always be some who are brighter and some who are stupider, the latter make up for it by being better workers.
Bertolt Brecht
