More quotes by Friedrich Durrenmatt
To make the essence of man visible in the exposure is the highest art of photography.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
To not be afraid in our world is the message that doesn't derive from reason, but maybe from this mysterious capacity given to humans which we call--not without a little embarrassment--faith.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
He who confronts the paradoxical exposes himself to reality.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
One does not set fire to a world which is already lost
Friedrich Durrenmatt
The freedom of each individual can only be the freedom of all.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Politics at all times lead to bloody wars, and not only politics, but also religions as well as social and economic systems of alltimes are spattered with blood. Invariably the big ones devoured the little ones, and the little ones the tiny ones.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
A state always calls itself fatherland when it is ready for murder.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
The individual protests against the world, but he doesn't get beyond protest, he is just a single protester. When he wants to be more than that, he has to counter power with power, he has to oppose the system with another system.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
That there is also freedom in captivity, only a prisoner can claim. Coming from a prison guard, this statement would be blasphemy.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Rome has betrayed itself. It knew the truth and chose violence, it knew humaneness and it chose tyranny.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
So then learn to conquer your fear. This is the only art we have to master nowadays: to look at things without fear, and to fearlessly do right.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
What concerns everyone can only be resolved by everyone.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
For people who have no critical acumen, a state is a mythical entity, for those who think critically it is a rational fiction, created by man in order to facilitate human coexistence.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
The archetype of all humans, their ideal image, is the computer, once it has liberated itself from its creator, man. The computeris the essence of the human being. In the computer, man reaches his completion.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Who sows fear, reaps weapons.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Pretend to be dumb, that's the only way to reach old age.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
A reasonable change of the world can not be instrumented by pure reason.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
