More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
For once you must try not to shirk the facts: mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.
Bertolt Brecht
Spring is noticed, if at all By people sitting in railway trains.
Bertolt Brecht
Unhappiness doesn't grow on the chest like leprosy. Poverty won't fall off the roof like a loose tile, no poverty and unhappiness are man's doing.
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
Grub first, then ethics.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't trust him. We're friends.
Bertolt Brecht
Who built the seven gates of Thebes? In the books are listed the names of kings. Did the kings heave up the building blocks?
Bertolt Brecht
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
Bertolt Brecht
Fearful is the seductive power of goodness.
Bertolt Brecht
People who understand everything get no stories.
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. ... In my view, the great and complicated things that go on in the world cannot be adequately recognized by people who do not use every possible aid to understanding.
Bertolt Brecht
You can make a fresh start with your final breath.
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
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
Bertolt Brecht
Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars because to write demands thinking.
Bertolt Brecht
For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
A theater without beer is just a museum
Bertolt Brecht
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.
Bertolt Brecht
Sin is what is new, strong, surprising, strange. The theatre must take an interest in sin if the young are to be able to go there.
Bertolt Brecht
