"I know what the fear is. The fear is not for what is lost.
What is lost is already in the wall, already behind the locked doors.
The fear is for what is still to be lost."

"We flatter ourselves by thinking this compulsion to please others an attractive trait: a gift for imaginative empathy, evidence of our willingness to give...we play roles doomed to failure before they are begun, each defeat generating fresh despair at the necessity of divining and meeting the next demand made upon us... To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves...there lies the great singular power of self-respect."

creativeness. Once it creates it is root music.
If it is a follow thing then it is not roots. We
are dealing with the creativity, the creative
power. You know?"

Bertolt Brecht (German dramatist)
__________
Born : February 10, 1898
Died : August 14, 1956
__________
was a German poet, playwright, and theatrical reformer whose epic theatre departed from the conventions of theatrical illusion and developed the drama as a social and ideological forum for leftist causes.
During this period he also developed a violently antibourgeois attitude that reflected his generation’s deep disappointment in the civilization that had come crashing down at the end of World War I. Among Brecht’s friends were members of the Dadaist group, who aimed at destroying what they condemned as the false standards of bourgeois art through derision and iconoclastic satire. The man who taught him the elements of Marxism in the late 1920s was Karl Korsch, an eminent Marxist theoretician who had been a Communist member of the Reichstag but had been expelled from the German Communist Party in 1926.

"The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears
nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He
doesn't seem to know that the cost of living, the price
of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines all depend on
political decisions. He even prides himself on his
political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he
hates politics. He doesn't know, the imbecile, that from
his political non-participation comes the prostitute,
the abandoned child, the robber and, worst of all,
corrupt officials."
