Im Zustand der gefüllten Samenblase sieht der Mann in jedem Weib Aphrodite.
Bertolt BrechtEpitaph
Den Tigern ertrann ich
Die Wanzen nährte ich
Aufgefressen wurde ich
Von den Mittelmäßigkeiten.

Every day, to earn my daily bread I go to the market where lies are bought Hopefully I take up my place among the sellers.
Bertolt BrechtWho built the seven towers of Thebes?
The books are filled with the names of kings.
Was it kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone?...
In the evening when the Chinese wall was finished
Where did the masons go?...
Denn die einen sind im Dunkeln
Und die anderen sind im Licht.
Und man sieht nur die im Lichte
Die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht.
Mankind lives by its head
Its head won't see him through
Inspect your own. What lives off that?
At most a louse or two.

General, your tank is a powerful vehicle
It smashes down forests and crushes a hundred men.
But it has one defect:
It needs a driver.
General, your bomber is powerful.
It flies faster than a storm and carries more than an elephant.
But it has one defect:
It needs a mechanic.
General, man is very useful.
He can fly and he can kill.
But he has one defect:
He can think.
Tutti vedono la violenza del fiume in piena,
nessuno vede la violenza degli argini che lo costringono.
Não se dirá: Quando a nogueira balançou no vento
Mas sim: Quando o pintor de paredes esmagou os trabalhadores.
Não se dirá: Quando o menino fez deslizar a pedra lisa pela superfície da correnteza
Mas sim: Quando prepararam as grandes guerras.
Não se dirá: Quando a mulher foi para o quarto
Mas sim: Quando os grandes poderes se uniram contras os trabalhadores.
Não se dirá: Os tempos eram negros
E sim: Por que seus poetas silenciaram?
