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
It was a melancholy secret that reality can arouse desires but never satisfy them.
Erich Maria Remarque
Come let me kiss you. Life was never so precious as today— when it meant so little.
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
Mirrors are there when we are and yet they never give anything back to us but our own image. Never, never shall we know what they are when they are alone or what is behind them.
Erich Maria Remarque
It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.
Erich Maria Remarque
A hospital alone shows what war is.
Erich Maria Remarque
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
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
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
... clothes sometimes gave one more of a lift than any philosophic comforting.
Erich Maria Remarque
Nothing is the mirror in which you see the world.
Erich Maria Remarque
Every little bean must be heard as well as seen!
Erich Maria Remarque
Strange how complicated we can make things just to avoid showing what we feel!
Erich Maria Remarque
I felt the first soft glow of intoxication that makes the blood warmer and spreads an illusion of adventure over uncertainty.
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
The things men did or felt they had to do.
Erich Maria Remarque
Good or ill, life is life you only realize that when you have to risk it.
Erich Maria Remarque
The war has ruined us for everything.
Erich Maria Remarque
I wandered through the streets thinking of all the things I might have said and might have done had I been other than I was.
Erich Maria Remarque
Courage is the fairest adornment of youth.
Erich Maria Remarque
