“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.”

–Bertolt Brecht, "General, Your Tank Is A Powerful Vehicle" from The Svenborg Poems (1939)

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.

Bertolt Brecht, 1935

"Our representations of human social life are designed for river-dwellers, fruit farmers, builders of vehicles and upturners of society, whom we invite into our theatres and beg not to forget their cheerful occupations while we hand the world over to their minds and hearts, for them to change as they think fit."

- Bertolt Brecht, from "A Short Organum for the Theatre"

Brecht > T.S. Eliot

[zitate-kiste]

„Es gibt viele Arten zu töten. Man kann einem ein Messer in den Bauch stechen, einem das Brot entziehen, einen von einer Krankheit nicht heilen, einen in eine schlechte Wohnung stecken, einen durch Arbeit zu Tode schinden, einen zum Suizid treiben, einen in den Krieg führen usw. Nur weniges davon ist in unserem Staat verboten“ - Bertholt Brecht

Die soziologische Konstante trotzt selbst der digitalen Zeitenwende: Moral war immer schon etwas für die, die sie sich leisten konnten.

The Swamp (1947) by Bertolt Brecht

[henriduree]

Sonntagsverse 45 24

I sit quietly by the waters again With the same animals as before And the same songs rose Into the sky that you weep over.

Changing the wheel I'm sitting on the side of the road. The driver is changing the wheel. I don't like where I'm coming from. I don't like where I'm going. Why do I see the wheel change With impatience

And if we think about it We can’t be grand for long There comes the wind and the rain That quickly makes us small Miserable and small We must be allowed to be.
