Bertolt Brecht
“Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.”
“Grub first, then ethics.”
“In the dark times will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.”
“Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.”
“Who is the greater criminal: he who robs a bank or he who founds one?”
“Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes.”
