More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
A person is really dead only when nobody thinks of him anymore.
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
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
Bertolt Brecht
He who speaks of enemies , himself is the enemy.
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
If you join the rat race — you're in the race of rats.
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
From the start it has been the theatre's business to entertain people ... it needs no other passport than fun.
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
If you wan to steal money, don't rob a bank - open one.
Bertolt Brecht
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
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
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
Bertolt Brecht
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
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
Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.
Bertolt Brecht
Come in, dear wind, and be our guest You too have neither home nor rest.
Bertolt Brecht
What kind of times are they, when A talk about trees is almost a crime Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
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
