More quotes by 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
For a moment I had a strange intuition that just this, and in a real, profound sense, is life and perhaps happiness even - love with a mixture of sadness, reverence, and silent knowledge.
Erich Maria Remarque
We want to live at any price so we cannot burden ourselves with feelings which, though they might be ornamental enough in peace-time, would be out of place here.
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
No matter how improbable an assertion is, if it is made with enough assurance it has an affect.
Erich Maria Remarque
Someone said to me once that a cigarette at the right moment is better than all the ideals in the world.
Erich Maria Remarque
What comfort there is in the skin of someone you love!
Erich Maria Remarque
The war has ruined us for everything.
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
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
Sometimes I used to think that one day i should wake up, and all that had been would be over. forgotten, sunk, drowned. Nothing was sure - not even memory.
Erich Maria Remarque
Trenches, hospitals, the common grave--there are no other possibilities.
Erich Maria Remarque
Everyone saves someone at least once. Just as he kills someone at least once. Even though he may not know it.
Erich Maria Remarque
The coffin, it shall protect me, though Death himself lies in it
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
A hospital alone shows what war is.
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
... clothes sometimes gave one more of a lift than any philosophic comforting.
Erich Maria Remarque
Courage is the fairest adornment of youth.
Erich Maria Remarque
It's all rot that they put in the war-news about the good humour of the troops, how they are arranging dances almost before they are out of the front-line. We don't act like that because we are in a good humour: we are in a good humour because otherwise we should go to pieces.
Erich Maria Remarque
