More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
A theater without beer is just a museum
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
For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.
Bertolt Brecht
The more innocent they are, the more they deserve to be shot.
Bertolt Brecht
From the start it has been the theatre's business to entertain people ... it needs no other passport than fun.
Bertolt Brecht
Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.
Bertolt Brecht
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Bertolt Brecht
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
Bertolt Brecht
Who does Not Know the Truth, is simply a Fool... Yet who Knows the Truth and Calls it a Lie, is a Criminal.
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
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
Bertolt Brecht

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
What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?
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
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
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
Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.
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
