“We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial--I believe we are lost.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

“Let the months and years come, they can take nothing from me, they can take nothing more. I am so alone, and so without hope that I can confront them without fear.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

“The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom. But the first death we saw shattered this belief. We had to recognise that our generation was more to be trusted than theirs. They surpassed us only in phrases and in cleverness. The first bombardment showed us our mistake, and under it the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

“We have lost all feeling for one another. We can hardly control ourselves when our glance lights on the form of some other man. We are insensible, dead men, who through some trick, some dreadful magic, are still able to run and to kill.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
