More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Temptation to behave is terrible.
Bertolt Brecht
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
Spring is noticed, if at all By people sitting in railway trains.
Bertolt Brecht
If you join the rat race — you're in the race of rats.
Bertolt Brecht
Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars because to write demands thinking.
Bertolt Brecht
Only bad generals need heroes.
Bertolt Brecht
One must live well to know what living is.
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
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
Love is the desire to give, not to receive, something. Love is the art of producing something with the other's talents.
Bertolt Brecht
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
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
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
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
First the pork chops, then morality
Bertolt Brecht
People who understand everything get no stories.
Bertolt Brecht
Though the rich of this earth find no difficulty in creating misery, they can't bear to see it.
Bertolt Brecht
When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments. What's left of kisses? Wounds, however, leave scars.
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
