The things men did or felt they had to do.
Erich Maria Remarque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
My rage outweighs my shame, as always happens when one is really ashamed and knows he ought to be.
Erich Maria Remarque

Erich Maria Remarque

Erich Maria Remarque

... clothes sometimes gave one more of a lift than any philosophic comforting.
Erich Maria Remarque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Nothing is the mirror in which you see the world.
Erich Maria Remarque
Image
The coffin, it shall protect me, though Death himself lies in it
Erich Maria Remarque
Image
The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom.
Erich Maria Remarque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Strange how complicated we can make things just to avoid showing what we feel!
Erich Maria Remarque
Image
Trenches, hospitals, the common grave--there are no other possibilities.
