― Erich Maria Remarque, Three Comrades

“Посмотри, что с нами стало. Насколько мне известно, только у древних греков были боги вина и веселья — Вакх и Дионис. А у нас вместо них — Фрейд, комплекс неполноценности и психоанализ, боязнь громких слов в любви и склонность к громким словам в политике. Скучная мы порода, не правда ли?
”
― Эрих Мария Ремарк

“I felt the first soft glow of intoxication that makes the blood warmer and spreads an illusion of adventure over uncertainty.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, Three Comrades

“But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony--Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
