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

More quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
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. - All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 5
Erich Maria Remarque
... but that's what mankind is like: they only prize what they no longer possess.
Erich Maria Remarque
The war has ruined us for everything.
Erich Maria Remarque
Sweet dreams though the guns are booming.
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
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
We are little flames poorly sheltered by frail walls against the storm of dissolution and madness, in which we flicker and sometimes almost go out…we creep in upon ourselves and with big eyes stare into the night…and thus we wait for morning.
Erich Maria Remarque
Strange how complicated we can make things just to avoid showing what we feel!
Erich Maria Remarque

Erich Maria Remarque
No matter how improbable an assertion is, if it is made with enough assurance it has an affect.
Erich Maria Remarque
On the steps is a machine-gun ready for action. The square is empty only the streets that lead into it are jammed with people. It would be madness to go farther - the machine-gun is covering the square.
Erich Maria Remarque
We were all at once terribly alone and alone we must see it through.
Erich Maria Remarque
Nothing is the mirror in which you see the world.
Erich Maria Remarque
For us lads of eighteen they ought to have been mediators and guides to the world of maturity, the world of work, of duty, of culture, of progress -- to the future.
Erich Maria Remarque
The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom.
Erich Maria Remarque
My rage outweighs my shame, as always happens when one is really ashamed and knows he ought to be.
Erich Maria Remarque
It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.
Erich Maria Remarque
Give 'em all the same grub and all the same pay/And the war would be over and done in a day. - All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 3
Erich Maria Remarque
Good or ill, life is life you only realize that when you have to risk it.
Erich Maria Remarque
-Why does a man live? -In order to think about it.
Erich Maria Remarque
