More quotes by 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
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
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
When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.
Bertolt Brecht
Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.
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
Sometimes it's more important to be human, than to have good taste.
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
I don't know what a man is. Only that every man has his price.
Bertolt Brecht
Who fights may lose, but who does not fight has lost already.
Bertolt Brecht
I don't trust him. We're friends.
Bertolt Brecht
What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?
Bertolt Brecht
...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
Bertolt Brecht
Eats first, morals after.
Bertolt Brecht
People who understand everything get no stories.
Bertolt Brecht
One must live well to know what living is.
Bertolt Brecht
One can describe the world of today to the people of today only if one describes it as capable of alteration.
Bertolt Brecht
There must always be some who are brighter and some who are stupider, the latter make up for it by being better workers.
Bertolt Brecht
The finest plans are always ruined by the littleness of those who ought to carry them out, for emperor himself can actually be nothing.
Bertolt Brecht
