He was one of Switzerland’s most important contemporary writers; in fact, he is perhaps the most important and successful German-language playwright after World War II. He is also one of the most important European dramatists to write since the Second World War.<\/p>\n
However, he has been largely neglected in the English-speaking world.

– Friedrich Durrenmatt Quotes –<\/b><\/p>\n
Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.<\/strong> It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.<\/strong> Man is imperfect. The reality he creates is always endangered by man.<\/strong> For a person who is dying only eternity counts.<\/strong> Nothing that has been thought can ever be taken back.<\/strong> We do not consider patriotism desirable if it contradicts civilized behavior.<\/strong> I am a man, and God is hiding from us humans. We are unable to see Him, we can only search for Him.<\/strong> Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.<\/strong> News reports don’t change the world. Only facts change it, and those have already happened when we get the news.<\/strong> For people who have no critical acumen, a state is a mythical entity, for those who think critically it is a rational fiction, created by man in order to facilitate human coexistence.<\/strong> Resistance at all cost is the most senseless act there is.<\/strong> It is easy to kill when you don’t see your victim.<\/strong> Only the freedom of mind can prevent the state from becoming totalitarian and from issuing totalitarian demands.<\/strong> You can’t take back an act you were able to think.<\/strong> Human life is beyond comprehension.<\/strong> Today’s difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal.<\/strong> There are risks which are not acceptable: the destruction of humanity is one of them.<\/strong> Everything that is necessary is also easy. You just have to accept it. And the most necessary, the most natural matter on this planet is death.<\/strong> A story has been thought through to the end when it has taken the worst possible turn.<\/strong> Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.<\/strong> The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.<\/strong> Everything in the world can be changed, my dear Florestan, but the human being.<\/strong> A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.<\/strong> He was one of Switzerland’s most important contemporary writers; in fact, he is perhaps the most important and successful German-language playwright after World War II. He is also one of the most important European dramatists to write since the Second World War. However, he has been largely neglected in the English-speaking world.
