Truth is always a delusion.
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
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
One does not set fire to a world which is already lost
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
When death has you by the throat, you don't mince words.
Friedrich Durrenmatt

Friedrich Durrenmatt
What concerns everyone can only be resolved by everyone.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Rome has betrayed itself. It knew the truth and chose violence, it knew humaneness and it chose tyranny.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
In the United States the whites speak well of the Blacks but think bad about them, whereas the Blacks talk bad and think bad aboutthe whites. Whites fear Blacks, because they have a bad conscience, and Blacks hate whites because they need not have a bad conscience.
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
The rightful claim to dissent is an existential right of the individual.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Today's difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
The content of physics is the concern of physicists, its effect the concern of all men.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
The evolution of humans can not only be seen as the grand total of their wars it is also defined by the evolution of the human mind and the development of the human consciousness.
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
Who sows fear, reaps weapons.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
