Erich Maria Remarque, “All Quiet On The Western Front”
But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony. Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?

Injuries may be forgiven...Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover...If you're not confused, you're not paying attention...Gospel goes with me wherever I go...An investment in knowledge...Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal...
