Bertolt Brecht

Poverty makes thieves, but also honest men.

The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it.

In dark times, the eye begins to see.

The head is held high by the spine, but the heart by the head.

Theatre is the art of making the invisible visible.

One cannot be sufficiently grateful for the absence of beggars on the road.

Science is not enough, one must also have the will to truth.

The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught.

Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.

Everything exists; nothing has value.

The stage is a place for the living to reflect on the dead.

Hunger is the best cook.

To live means to fight, to struggle.

Theatre for the scientific age.

Alas, for the seed of men.

One must fight for one's law as for one's city.

The art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing.

In the end, everything is a gag.
