Brecht

Famous quotes containing the word brecht:

    “Let nothing be called natural
    In an age of bloody confusion,
    Ordered disorder, planned caprice,
    And dehumanized humanity, lest all things
    Be held unalterable!”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    “It is not enough to demand insight and informative images of reality from the theater. Our theater must stimulate a desire for understanding, a delight in changing reality. Our audience must experience not only the ways to free Prometheus, but be schooled in the very desire to free him. Theater must teach all the pleasures and joys of discovery, all the feelings of triumph associated with liberation.”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    “No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
