Bertolt Brecht
Image
Sometimes I have visions of myself driving through hell, selling sulphur and brimstone, or through heaven peddling refreshments to the roaming souls. If me and the children I've got left could find a place where there's no shooting, I wouldn't mind a few years of peace and quiet.
Bertolt Brecht

You can make a fresh start with your final breath.
Bertolt Brecht

When the leaders speak of peace The common folk know That war is coming When the leaders curse war The mobilization order is already written out. Every day, to earn my daily bread I go to the market where lies are bought Hopefully I take up my place among the sellers.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
The finest plans are always ruined by the littleness of those who ought to carry them out, for emperor himself can actually be nothing.

Never believe on faith, see for yourself! What you yourself don't learn you don't know.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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
Image
Sin is what is new, strong, surprising, strange. The theatre must take an interest in sin if the young are to be able to go there.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
One must live well to know what living is.
Bertolt Brecht

People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
