Writing about the Stanislavsky method of acting, the German playwright Bertolt Brecht once wrote that workers should not dwell in abstractions, but in reality. They should defeat their overlords and become their own masters; not just seek union with God but with their fellow suffering laborers; not be mired in their own selves but figure out ways to combat the enemy.
「勞動者不應該在思想上，而應該是在現實中，也就是通過打倒他們的主人而變成自己的主人。他也不應該只同他的上帝在一起，而是要同他共患難的同志聯合起來… … 他不應該沉緬於自我，而是要研究如何對付他的敵人。」
