Erich Maria Remarque, “All Quiet On The Western Front”
We came to realise - first with astonishment, then bitterness, and finally with indifference - that intellect apparently wasn't the most important thing... not ideas, but the system; not freedom, but drill. We had joined up with enthusiasm and with good will; but they did everything to knock that out of us.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed...We can learn something new anytime...Familiarity breeds contempt...Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind...Solitude, isolation, are painful things and beyond...Set high standards and few limitations for yourself...
