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.

I love getting dressed up in a suit...Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes...It's better to be unhappy alone...The greatest misfortune of the wise man...If you think you can do it, you can...If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions...
