Bertolt Brecht
On thinking about Hell, I gather My brother Shelley found it was a place Much like the city of London. I Who live in Los Angeles and not in London Find, on thinking about Hell, that it must be Still more like Los Angeles.
Bertolt Brecht
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn When teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
Would it not be simpler If the Government dissolved the people and elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
There are a few things that'll move people to pity, a few, but the trouble is, when they've been used several times, they no longer work.
Bertolt Brecht
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
Bertolt Brecht
