Bertolt Brecht
The man who laughs has simply not yet had the terrible news.
Bertolt Brecht
People remain what they are even if their faces fall apart.
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
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
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
Whenever there are great virtues, it's a sure sign something's wrong.
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
Temptation to behave is terrible.
Bertolt Brecht
War is like love, it always finds a way.
Bertolt Brecht
For once you must try not to shirk the facts: mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
Bertolt Brecht
With drooping shoulders The majority sit hunched, their foreheads furrowed like Stony ground that has been repeatedly ploughed-up to no purpose.
Bertolt Brecht
It's never too late for those whose time has come.
Bertolt Brecht
A person is really dead only when nobody thinks of him anymore.
Bertolt Brecht
Love is the wish to give, not to receive.
Bertolt Brecht
You can make a fresh start with your final breath.
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
When the leaders speak of peace The common folk know That war is coming When the leaders curse war The mobilization order is already written out. Every day, to earn my daily bread I go to the market where lies are bought Hopefully I take up my place among the sellers.
Bertolt Brecht
Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral.
Bertolt Brecht
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
