Author of quotes: Bertolt Brecht. Page 2

Stick with me. From the world where to go?
He day and night with me, and I realized then,
Butchers, like butchers - yourselfers,
And to the question: "are You happy?" - I feebly shouted: "Yes."
Coward better than a dead man, and brave to be dangerous.
I started this "Yes" saying everything and everyone.
Because I was afraid of their hands getting caught
And approved of all what not to approve.

And you learn not to look but to see
Learn not to talk, and hate.
Though humanity and was glad,
Sending these bastards left
Triumph is not yet necessary:
Still able to bear fruit of the womb
Which hatched reptile.

Family is the basis of all morality, they'll all say that. But the basis of family - love, I tell you! If it were not for family, people simply devoured each other and the world in General there would be a decent relationships. No matter how we try, we can't always behave the way we want, even in the field of religion, but the family should be left alone. That is why she is the strongest bulwark, and the woman will never forget the first man to whom it belonged.

To lead the state - the task of the moral order.

War cannot be prevented, and crises.

As it became difficult to have a woman. <...> When the husband returned from the hunt two hours earlier than had been arranged, and found in bed with his wife some sort of a chubby pretty boy. What I say in bed? It was enough to catch her in a room alone with a man, and it was all clear. But nowadays business life is forcing her, whether she wants it or not wants to show men their calves, and some firms are making love with the same ease as wash their hands, mainly in order to steal from us, employers, a few minutes of working time! Is it possible to think about the revelations, when adultery as little conspicuous, and as little as not washing hands?

Is <...> the fact that the man had once had a woman who really plays such a big role? It really means a lot this is the first is usually not perfect hug? Inevitably we have to admit that the man is peculiar instinct of a master, forcing him to find a higher pleasure in the enslavement of women in the victory over it! Otherwise what can explain this surprising indifference after the act of possession? This feeling arises even in those cases when we are talking about woman you are not deprived of innocence.

Little people are very inclined to explain the disaster befell them by reason of the highest order.

You can be free in the prison. <...> Freedom is a spiritual phenomenon. Who possesses it, that no one ever will not take it. As the poet said? In chains free! There are people who cannot be free outside the prison gates. The body can be chained, the spirit - never. Thought is free!

Meanness, apparently, has no boundaries.

... war causes not only the rise of the senses, but also a significant business revival. It entails a great many troubles, but business people usually have no reason to complain about it.

Love is not insurance age. Who is inferior to love, he shares the pleasure derived from love.

A person must be at least two a penny of hope, otherwise it is impossible to live.

They move sheep in a row
The drums are beating -
Skin to give them
Sheep themselves.
The butcher's calling. Behind him, the sheep foolishly
Heard footsteps blindly, by link link
And those with whom it slaughtered skinned,
Go in the ranks of living together.
