The crowd, still shouting, gives way before us. We plough our way through. Women hold their aprons over their faces and go stumbling away. A roar of fury goes up. A wounded man is being carried off.
Erich Maria Remarque

More quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
... clothes sometimes gave one more of a lift than any philosophic comforting.
Erich Maria Remarque
The coffin, it shall protect me, though Death himself lies in it
Erich Maria Remarque
Courage is the fairest adornment of youth.
Erich Maria Remarque
Life is a disease, brother, and death begins already at birth. Every breath, every heartbeat, is a moment of dying - a little shove toward the end.
Erich Maria Remarque
A hospital alone shows what war is.
Erich Maria Remarque
You may turn into an archangel, a fool, or a criminal—no one will see it. But when a button is missing—everyone sees that.
Erich Maria Remarque
We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial—I believe we are lost.
Erich Maria Remarque
But probably that's the way of the world - when we have finally learned something we're too old to apply it - and so it goes, wave after wave, generation after generation. No one learns anything at all from anyone else.
Erich Maria Remarque
We have lost all sense of other considerations, because they are artificial. Only the facts are real and important to us. And good boots are hard to come by. - All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 2
Erich Maria Remarque
Sweet dreams though the guns are booming.
Erich Maria Remarque
The war has ruined us for everything.
Erich Maria Remarque
The things men did or felt they had to do.
Erich Maria Remarque
The wisest were just the poor and simple people. They knew the war to be a misfortune, whereas those who were better off, and should have been able to see more clearly what the consequences would be, were beside themselves with joy.
Erich Maria Remarque
You take it from me, we are losing the war because we can salute too well.
Erich Maria Remarque
No matter how improbable an assertion is, if it is made with enough assurance it has an affect.
Erich Maria Remarque
We came to realise - first with astonishment, then bitterness, and finally with indifference - that intellect apparently wasn't the most important thing...not ideas, but the system not freedom, but drill. We had joined up with enthusiasm and with good will but they did everything to knock that out of us.
Erich Maria Remarque
We march up, moody or good-tempered soldiers - we reach the zone where the front begins and become on the instant human animals.
Erich Maria Remarque
It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.
Erich Maria Remarque
Nothing is the mirror in which you see the world.
Erich Maria Remarque
To me the front is a mysterious whirlpool. Though I am in still water far away from its centre, I feel the whirl of the vortex sucking me slowly, irresistibly, inescapably into itself.
Erich Maria Remarque
