More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Who does Not Know the Truth, is simply a Fool... Yet who Knows the Truth and Calls it a Lie, is a Criminal.
Bertolt Brecht
People remain what they are even if their faces fall apart.
Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
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
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
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
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
The man who laughs has simply not yet had the terrible news.
Bertolt Brecht
Life is short and so is money.
Bertolt Brecht
Little changes are the enemies of great changes.
Bertolt Brecht
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
Bertolt Brecht
First the pork chops, then morality
Bertolt Brecht
What a miserable thing life is: you're in clover only the clover isn't good enough.
Bertolt Brecht
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
Bertolt Brecht
Oh! Moon of Alabama We now must say good-bye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey Oh, you know why!
Bertolt Brecht
For the task assigned them Men aren't smart enough or sly Any rogue can blind them With a clever lie.
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
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
The alienation effect in German epic theater is achieved not only through the actors, but also through music (chorus and song) andsets (transparencies, film strips, etc.). Its main purpose is to place the staged events in their historical context.
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
