More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Let nothing be called natural In an age of bloody confusion, Ordered disorder, planned caprice, And dehumanized humanity, lest all things Be held unalterable!
Bertolt Brecht
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
Bertolt Brecht
Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
Temptation to behave is terrible.
Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
People remain what they are even if their faces fall apart.
Bertolt Brecht
We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.
Bertolt Brecht
Sometimes it's more important to be human, than to have good taste.
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
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
Bertolt Brecht
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error.
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
Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.
Bertolt Brecht
Art and science work in quite different ways: agreed. But, bad as it may sound, I have to admit that I cannot get along as an artist without the use of one or two sciences. ... In my view, the great and complicated things that go on in the world cannot be adequately recognized by people who do not use every possible aid to understanding.
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
It's never too late for those whose time has come.
Bertolt Brecht
What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?
Bertolt Brecht
...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
Bertolt Brecht
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
Bertolt Brecht
