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 do not want to be bored listening to music...The creation of something new is not accomplished...It is the working man who is the happy man...Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited...Every act you have ever performed...God has blessed me with an amazing family...
