More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
For what's the use of talking with a man who has a disease and thinks about the stars?
Bertolt Brecht
It was never decreed that a god mustn't pay hotel bills.
Bertolt Brecht
...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
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
With drooping shoulders The majority sit hunched, their foreheads furrowed like Stony ground that has been repeatedly ploughed-up to no purpose.
Bertolt Brecht
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
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
When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
It isn't important to come out on top, what matters is to be the one who comes out alive.
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
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
Bertolt Brecht
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
Bertolt Brecht
You can make a fresh start with your final breath.
Bertolt Brecht
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
Bertolt Brecht
Some party hack decreed that the people had lost the government's confidence and could only regain it with redoubled effort. If that is the case, would it not be simpler, If the government simply dissolved the people And elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
Bank robbery is an initiative of amateurs. True professionals establish a bank.
Bertolt Brecht
War is like love, it always finds a way.
Bertolt Brecht
Would it not be simpler If the Government dissolved the people and elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
Little changes are the enemies of great changes.
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
