More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Love is the desire to give, not to receive, something. Love is the art of producing something with the other's talents.
Bertolt Brecht
Would it not be simpler If the Government dissolved the people and elected another?
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
Whenever there are great virtues, it's a sure sign something's wrong.
Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
Bertolt Brecht
From the start it has been the theatre's business to entertain people ... it needs no other passport than fun.
Bertolt Brecht
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
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
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
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
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
If you wan to steal money, don't rob a bank - open one.
Bertolt Brecht
Pleasures First look from morning's window The rediscovered book Fascinated faces Snow, the change of the seasons The newspaper The dog Dialectics Showering, swimming Old music Comfortable shoes Comprehension New music Writing, planting Traveling Singing Being friendly
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
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
Bertolt Brecht
The righteous one has no sense of humor.
Bertolt Brecht
Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.
Bertolt Brecht
If you join the rat race — you're in the race of rats.
Bertolt Brecht
It's never too late for those whose time has come.
Bertolt Brecht
