More quotes by Friedrich Durrenmatt
It is only in love and murder that we still remain sincere.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.
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
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

Humans need justice in the here and now and grace in the thereafter. Justice in the here and now is possible only without freedom,and grace in the thereafter only through the freedom of God.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.
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
Who sows fear, reaps weapons.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
We do not consider patriotism desirable if it contradicts civilized behavior.
