More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
Never believe on faith, see for yourself! What you yourself don't learn you don't know.
Bertolt Brecht
It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.
Bertolt Brecht
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
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
Spring is noticed, if at all By people sitting in railway trains.
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
Only bad generals need heroes.
Bertolt Brecht
Fearful is the seductive power of goodness.
Bertolt Brecht
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
Bertolt Brecht
It isn't important to come out on top, what matters is to be the one who comes out alive.
Bertolt Brecht
Bank robbery is an initiative of amateurs. True professionals establish a bank.
Bertolt Brecht
When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
Their peace and their war Are like wind and storm. War grows from their peace.
Bertolt Brecht
Temptation to behave is terrible.
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
Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
When something seems ‘the most obvious thing in the world’ it means that any attempt to understand the world has been given up.
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
