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.

The course of true love never did run smooth...Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all...The most important thing a father can do for his children...Giving is the most self-satisfying thing...Well, you know, a lot of people look at the negative...If I had my will I would live in a ship on the sea...
