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
Never believe on faith, see for yourself! What you yourself don't learn you don't know.

It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.
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
