Friedrich Durrenmatt
The content of physics is the concern of physicists, its effect the concern of all men.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Only the freedom of mind can prevent the state from becoming totalitarian and from issuing totalitarian demands.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
A state always calls itself fatherland when it is ready for murder.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
To make the essence of man visible in the exposure is the highest art of photography.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Everything that is necessary is also easy. You just have to accept it. And the most necessary, the most natural matter on this planet is death.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
