More quotes by 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 leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?
Bertolt Brecht
With drooping shoulders The majority sit hunched, their foreheads furrowed like Stony ground that has been repeatedly ploughed-up to no purpose.

Bertolt Brecht
If you join the rat race — you're in the race of rats.
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
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
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
Bertolt Brecht
...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
Bertolt Brecht
People who understand everything get no stories.
Bertolt Brecht
Grub first, then ethics.
Bertolt Brecht
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
Bertolt Brecht
The more innocent they are, the more they deserve to be shot.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
Bertolt Brecht
Their peace and their war Are like wind and storm. War grows from their peace.
Bertolt Brecht
