Bertolt Brecht, Stories Of Mr Keuner

[dogearedheart]

"This, I feel, is the advantage to creating art at this point in time: When we realize that we are temporary, we are facing our self-destruction, we are realizing our fate and we must confront it. Art is the only sensible primal response to an outlook of possible destruction."

Il peggior analfabeta è l’analfabeta politico. Egli non ascolta, non parla né partecipa agli avvenimenti politici. Non sa che il costo della vita, il prezzo dei fagioli, del pesce, della farina, dell’ affitto, delle scarpe e delle medicine dipendono dalle decisioni politiche. Un analfabeta politico è tanto animale Che si inorgoglisce e gonfia il petto Nel dire che odia la politica. Non sa l’imbecille che Dalla sua ignoranza politica proviene la prostituta, il minore abbandonato, il rapinatore ed il peggiore di tutti i banditi, che è il politico disonesto, ingannatore e corrotto, leccapiedi delle imprese nazionali e multinazionali. Bertolt Brecht - L'analfabeta politico

“Those who are against Fascism without being against capitalism, who lament over the barbarism that comes out of barbarism, are like people who wish to eat their veal without slaughtering the calf. They are willing to eat the calf, but they dislike the sight of blood. They are easily satisfied if the butcher washes his hands before weighing the meat.”

Bertolt Brecht
