More quotes by 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
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
Who fights may lose, but who does not fight has lost already.
Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
Bertolt Brecht
Unhappiness doesn't grow on the chest like leprosy. Poverty won't fall off the roof like a loose tile, no poverty and unhappiness are man's doing.
Bertolt Brecht
What rapture, oh, it is to know A good thing when you see it And having seen a good thing, oh, What rapture 'tis to flee it.
Bertolt Brecht
What's a joy to the one is a nightmare to the other.
Bertolt Brecht
For once you must try not to shirk the facts: mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
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
Never believe on faith, see for yourself! What you yourself don't learn you don't know.
Bertolt Brecht
Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.
Bertolt Brecht
The righteous one has no sense of humor.
Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
Impact lies in the vicinity of mistakes.
Bertolt Brecht
What a miserable thing life is: you're in clover only the clover isn't good enough.
Bertolt Brecht
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn When teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
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
I don't like where I'm going and I don't like where I've been. Why am I in a hurry?
Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.
Bertolt Brecht
