More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
War is like love, it always finds a way.
Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
Bertolt Brecht
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.
Bertolt Brecht
Whenever there are great virtues, it's a sure sign something's wrong.
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
When the leaders speak of peace The common folk know That war is coming When the leaders curse war The mobilization order is already written out. Every day, to earn my daily bread I go to the market where lies are bought Hopefully I take up my place among the sellers.
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
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
Come in, dear wind, and be our guest You too have neither home nor rest.
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
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
Bertolt Brecht
In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.
Bertolt Brecht
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error.
Bertolt Brecht
What a miserable thing life is: you're in clover only the clover isn't good enough.
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
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
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
Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars because to write demands thinking.
Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
