Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came? Why then, the war would come to you!
Bertolt Brecht
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
Bertolt Brecht
Bank robbery is an initiative of amateurs. True professionals establish a bank.
Bertolt Brecht
Their peace and their war Are like wind and storm. War grows from their peace.
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
Whenever there are great virtues, it's a sure sign something's wrong.
Bertolt Brecht
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
Bertolt Brecht
He who speaks of enemies , himself is the enemy.
Bertolt Brecht
One can describe the world of today to the people of today only if one describes it as capable of alteration.
Bertolt Brecht
Those against politics are in favor of the politics inflicted upon them.
Bertolt Brecht
...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
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
You don't need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.
Bertolt Brecht
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
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
The finest plans are always ruined by the littleness of those who ought to carry them out, for emperor himself can actually be nothing.
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
When something seems ‘the most obvious thing in the world’ it means that any attempt to understand the world has been given up.
Bertolt Brecht
Who fights may lose, but who does not fight has lost already.
Bertolt Brecht
People remain what they are even if their faces fall apart.
Bertolt Brecht
