Erich Maria Remarque, “All Quiet On The Western Front”
A man cannot realize that above such shattered bodies there are still human faces in which life goes its daily round. And this is only one hospital, a single station; there are hundreds of thousands in Germany, hundreds of thousands in France, hundreds of thousands in Russia. How senseless is everything that can ever be written, done, or thought, when such things are possible. It must be all lies and of no account when the culture of a thousand years could not prevent this stream of blood being poured out, these torture chambers in their hundreds of thousands. A hospital alone shows what war is.

Every man's life ends the same way...My soul can find no staircase to Heaven...Excellence is an art won by training and habituation...While I thought that I was learning how to live...It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company...If you do not use a muscle or any part of the body...
