Page 194: " (...) the actor himself having at last reached the stage and wanting to make the most of the few minutes he has been given. Brecht is adamant in combating this wish. He gives his actors their chance in a different way, presenting them with one of his famous pauses. These pauses are not there to express feeling but to allow something to be shown while silence reigns, thus giving the audience a chance to reflect and to understand."
