Erich Maria Remarque, “All Quiet On The Western Front”
We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer, we believe in the war.

Thought is only a flash between two long nights...It is easier to stay out...Dialogue is the basis of Indian culture...One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship...There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights...A poet never takes notes...
