Additional quotes by Bertolt Brecht

Andrea: Unhappy is the land that breeds no hero. Galileo: No, Andrea: Unhappy is the land that needs a hero. [Unglücklich das Land, das Helden nötig hat.]

I see with sympathy
The swollen veins on his brow, showing
How exhausting it is to be evil.

Let nothing be called natural In an age of bloody confusion, Ordered disorder, planned caprice,
And dehumanized humanity, lest all things Be held unalterable!
