More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Eats first, morals after.
Bertolt Brecht
What kind of times are they, when A talk about trees is almost a crime Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
Bertolt Brecht
There are a few things that'll move people to pity, a few, but the trouble is, when they've been used several times, they no longer work.
Bertolt Brecht
Even hatred of vileness Distorts a mans features.
Bertolt Brecht
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
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
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
Only bad generals need heroes.
Bertolt Brecht
You can make a fresh start with your final breath.
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
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
Bertolt Brecht
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
Bertolt Brecht
Bank robbery is an initiative of amateurs. True professionals establish a bank.
Bertolt Brecht
Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral.
Bertolt Brecht
Reality changes in order to represent it, modes of representation must change.
Bertolt Brecht
What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?
Bertolt Brecht
Grub first, then ethics.
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?
