Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.
Bertolt Brecht
There are men who struggle for a day and they are good. There are men who struggle for a year and they are better. There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still. But there are those who struggle all their lives: These are the indispensable ones.
Bertolt Brecht

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
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
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

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
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
The man who laughs has simply not yet had the terrible news.
Bertolt Brecht
Life is short and so is money.
Bertolt Brecht
Though the rich of this earth find no difficulty in creating misery, they can't bear to see it.
Bertolt Brecht
Who built the seven gates of Thebes? In the books are listed the names of kings. Did the kings heave up the building blocks?
Bertolt Brecht
