Bertolt Brecht

Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science.

War is like love, it always finds a way.

What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?

It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.

A man who strains himself on the stage is bound, if he is any good, to strain all the people sitting in the stalls.

Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.

From the cradle to the coffin underwear comes first.

A man who sees another man on the street corner with only a stump for an arm will be so shocked the first time he'll give him sixpence. But the second time it'll only be a three penny bit. And if he sees him a third time, he'll have him cold-bloodedly handed over to the police.

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

People remain what they are even if their faces fall apart.
