Erich Maria Remarque, “Three Comrades”
I did not want to think so much about her. I wanted to take her as an unexpected, delightful gift, that had come and would go again — nothing more. I meant not to give room to the thought that it could ever be more. I knew too well that all love has the desire for eternity and that therein lies its eternal torment. Nothing lasts. Nothing.

Art is an attempt to integrate evil...The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands...The world is full of willing people; some willing to work...But to me, to be original is to be yourself...It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people...If they can't hum it after we play it, it's not for us...
