More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Art and science work in quite different ways: agreed. But, bad as it may sound, I have to admit that I cannot get along as an artist without the use of one or two sciences. ... In my view, the great and complicated things that go on in the world cannot be adequately recognized by people who do not use every possible aid to understanding.
Bertolt Brecht
It isn't important to come out on top, what matters is to be the one who comes out alive.
Bertolt Brecht
Come in, dear wind, and be our guest You too have neither home nor rest.
Bertolt Brecht
Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral.
Bertolt Brecht
You don't need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.
Bertolt Brecht
The alienation effect in German epic theater is achieved not only through the actors, but also through music (chorus and song) andsets (transparencies, film strips, etc.). Its main purpose is to place the staged events in their historical context.
Bertolt Brecht
What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?
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
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
Bertolt Brecht
When the leaders speak of peace, the common folk know war is coming.
Bertolt Brecht
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
In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.
Bertolt Brecht
We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.
Bertolt Brecht
Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.
Bertolt Brecht
Bank robbery is an initiative of amateurs. True professionals establish a bank.
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
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
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
Never believe on faith, see for yourself! What you yourself don't learn you don't know.
Bertolt Brecht
For once you must try not to shirk the facts: mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
Bertolt Brecht
