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
We were all at once terribly alone and alone we must see it through.
Erich Maria Remarque
The war has ruined us for everything.
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 things men did or felt they had to do.
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
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
You take it from me, we are losing the war because we can salute too well.
Erich Maria Remarque
Good or ill, life is life you only realize that when you have to risk it.
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
Trenches, hospitals, the common grave--there are no other possibilities.
Erich Maria Remarque
Every little bean must be heard as well as seen!
Erich Maria Remarque
It was a melancholy secret that reality can arouse desires but never satisfy them.
Erich Maria Remarque
I am no longer a shuddering speck of existence, alone in the darkness--I belong to them and they to me we all share the same fear and the same life...I could bury my face in them, in these voices, these words that have saved me and will stand by me.
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
Courage is the fairest adornment of youth.
Erich Maria Remarque
... but that's what mankind is like: they only prize what they no longer possess.
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
... clothes sometimes gave one more of a lift than any philosophic comforting.
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
