Bertolt Brecht Quote

Oh why do we not say the important things, it would be so easy, and we are damned because we do not.


"Song about my mother" [Lied von meiner Mutter], from "Thirteen Psalms" (1920), trans. Christopher Middleton in Poems, 1913-1956, p. 40 - Poems, 1913-1956 (1976)


Oh why do we not say the important things, it would be so easy, and we are damned because we do not.

Oh why do we not say the important things, it would be so easy, and we are damned because we do not.

Oh why do we not say the important things, it would be so easy, and we are damned because we do not.

Oh why do we not say the important things, it would be so easy, and we are damned because we do not.
