Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.

There are men who struggle for a day and they are good. There are men who struggle for a year and they are better. There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still. But there are those who struggle all their lives: These are the indispensable ones.

Nowadays, anyone who wishes to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties. He must have the courage to write the truth when truth is everywhere opposed; the keenness to recognize it, although it is everywhere concealed; the skill to manipulate it as a weapon; the judgment to select those in whose hands it will be effective; and the running to spread the truth among such persons.

Bertolt Brecht 247 quotes

We attacked a foreign people ...

We attacked a foreign people and treated them like rebels. As you know, it's all right to treat barbarians barbarically. It's the desire to be barbaric that makes governments call their enemies barbarians.

Bertolt Brecht 247 quotes

It is not enough to demand in...

It is not enough to demand insight and informative images of reality from the theater. Our theater must stimulate a desire for understanding, a delight in changing reality. Our audience must experience not only the ways to free Prometheus, but be schooled in the very desire to free him. Theater must teach all the pleasures and joys of discovery, all the feelings of triumph associated with liberation.

A person is really dead only when nobody thinks of him anymore.

Bertolt Brecht 247 quotes

Don’t accept the habitual as ...

Don’t accept the habitual as a natural thing. In times of disorder, of organized confusion, of de-humanized humanity, nothing should seem natural. Nothing should seem impossible to change.

?When the leaders speak of peace
?The common folk know

?When the leaders curse war

The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.

It's all right to hesitate if you then go ahead.

People are too durable, that's their main trouble. They can do too much to themselves, they last too long.

Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.

Bertolt Brecht 247 quotes

What they could do with 'round here is a good war. What else can you expect with peace running wild all over the place? You know what the trouble with peace is? No organization.

One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
