Image
He who speaks of enemies , himself is the enemy.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Love is the desire to give, not to receive, something. Love is the art of producing something with the other's talents.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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
Image
He who fights, can lose. He who doesn't fight, has already lost.
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
Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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
Image
A good soldier has his heart and soul in it. When he receives an order, he gets a hard on, and when he drives his lance through his enemy's guts, he comes.
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
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
Image
Who built the seven gates of Thebes? In the books are listed the names of kings. Did the kings heave up the building blocks?
Bertolt Brecht
Image
It's never too late for those whose time has come.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
It isn't important to come out on top, what matters is to be the one who comes out alive.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
