Friedrich Durrenmatt
Who sows fear, reaps weapons.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.
Friedrich Durrenmatt

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
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
A reasonable change of the world can not be instrumented by pure reason.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
He who confronts the paradoxical exposes himself to reality.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
There are risks which are not acceptable: the destruction of humanity is one of them
Friedrich Durrenmatt
