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.

Avoid using cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs...The delicate balance of mentoring someone...Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself...Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand...The heart of the theater is the play itself...Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work...
