Friedrich Durrenmatt
Someone who is about to die does not mourn the dead.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
To make the essence of man visible in the exposure is the highest art of photography.
Friedrich Durrenmatt

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
Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
What concerns everyone can only be resolved by everyone.
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
The only remedy against hunger is reasonable birth control.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
In a society which is structured the wrong way, piety has no effect.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
