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.

I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew...Smile, it is the key that fits the lock...No matter who you meet in life, you take something...Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree...Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel...In my business, you should be very strong in mind...
