Bertolt Brecht
...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
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
In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.
Bertolt Brecht

For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.
Bertolt Brecht
Sometimes it's more important to be human, than to have good taste.
Bertolt Brecht
What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?
Bertolt Brecht
A person is really dead only when nobody thinks of him anymore.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
Bertolt Brecht
Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.
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
