More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
I don't like where I'm going and I don't like where I've been. Why am I in a hurry?
Bertolt Brecht
Love is the desire to give, not to receive, something. Love is the art of producing something with the other's talents.
Bertolt Brecht
Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral.
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
Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars because to write demands thinking.
Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.
Bertolt Brecht
Reality changes in order to represent it, modes of representation must change.
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
Impact lies in the vicinity of mistakes.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't trust him. We're friends.
Bertolt Brecht
As regards obstacles, the shortest distance between two points can be a curve.
Bertolt Brecht
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
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
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
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
For what's the use of talking with a man who has a disease and thinks about the stars?
Bertolt Brecht
War is like love, it always finds a way.
Bertolt Brecht
In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.
Bertolt Brecht
Righteous people have no sense of humor.
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
