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 came, I saw, I conquered...It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion...We gain freedom when we have paid the full price...People who are unable to motivate themselves...It is better to be honourable than be honoured...Oh, to be in England now that April's there...
