Bertolt Brecht

Poverty makes you sad as well as wise.

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.

Don't tell me peace has broken out.

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.

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

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

Sometimes it's more important to be human, than to have good taste.

Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.

To live means to finesse the processes to which one is subjugated.

Grub first, then ethics.
