Use the allowed Ringel lemma on bricks in the following precise form: a finite-dimensional indecomposable quiver representation that is not a brick module contains a nonzero brick with .
Suppose such a nonbrick indecomposable existed, and let . The Tits form of a quiver is , so the Ringel form identity would givePositive definiteness gives for nonzero , a contradiction. Therefore every indecomposable is a brick.
