Bertolt Brecht
Little changes are the enemies of great changes.
Bertolt Brecht
A theater without beer is just a museum

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
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Bertolt Brecht
For once you must try not to shirk the facts: mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
