Bertolt Brecht
German Communist & dramatist (1898 - 1956)
War is like love; it always finds a way.
What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone?
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
He who laughs has not yet heard the bad news.
There are times when you have to choose between being a human and having good taste.
Something ignoble, loathsome, undignified attends all associations between people and has been transferred to all objects, dwelling, tools, even the landscape itself.
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
On thinking about Hell, I gather
My brother Shelley found it was a place
Much like the city of London. I
Who live in Los Angeles and not in London
Find, on thinking about Hell, that it must be
Still more like Los Angeles.
Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
For the villainy of the world is great, and a man has to run his legs off to keep them from being stolen out fom underneath him.
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error.
