Erich Maria Remarque, “Three Comrades”
The music enchanted the air. It was like the south wind, like a warm night, like swelling sails beneath the stars, completely and utterly unreal... It made everything spacious and colourful, the dark stream of life seemed pulsing in it; there were no burdens any more, no limits; there existed only glory and melody and love, so that one simply could not realize that, at the same time as this music was, outside there ruled poverty and torment and despair.

There are two good things in life — freedom of thought...The only function of economic forecasting...There is an eagle in me that wants to soar...It is a rough road that leads to the heights...Venezuela is supporting tens of thousands of poor...As California goes...
