Erich Maria Remarque
What comfort there is in the skin of someone you love!
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
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
The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom.
