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

The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments. What's left of kisses? Wounds, however, leave scars.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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.

Bertolt Brecht

It's never too late for those whose time has come.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Oh! Moon of Alabama We now must say good-bye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey Oh, you know why!
Bertolt Brecht

For art to be 'unpolitical' means only to ally itself with the 'ruling' group.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Little changes are the enemies of great changes.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
The right to happiness is fundamental men live so little time and die alone.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
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
