More quotes by 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
A theater without beer is just a museum
Bertolt Brecht
Even hatred of vileness Distorts a mans features.
Bertolt Brecht
Grub first, then ethics.
Bertolt Brecht
The more innocent they are, the more they deserve to be shot.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
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
Pleasures First look from morning's window The rediscovered book Fascinated faces Snow, the change of the seasons The newspaper The dog Dialectics Showering, swimming Old music Comfortable shoes Comprehension New music Writing, planting Traveling Singing Being friendly
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
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
The defeats and victories of the fellows at the top aren't always defeats and victories for the fellows at the bottom.
Bertolt Brecht
Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.
Bertolt Brecht
From the start it has been the theatre's business to entertain people ... it needs no other passport than fun.
Bertolt Brecht
Impact lies in the vicinity of mistakes.
Bertolt Brecht
Righteous people have no sense of humor.
Bertolt Brecht
What rapture, oh, it is to know A good thing when you see it And having seen a good thing, oh, What rapture 'tis to flee it.
Bertolt Brecht
Come in, dear wind, and be our guest You too have neither home nor rest.
Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
Bertolt Brecht
When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
Who fights may lose, but who does not fight has lost already.
Bertolt Brecht
