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.

We are heavy...You become so obsessed, and that's not a bad thing...Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone...When men yield up the privilege of thinking...I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want...It's not only moving that creates new starting points...
