“To be alone—the eternal refrain of life. It wasn’t better or worse than anything else. One talked too much about it. One was always and never alone. A violin, suddenly—somewhere out of a twilight—in a garden on the hills around Budapest. The heavy scent of chestnuts. The wind.

― Erich Maria Remarque, Arch of Triumph: A Novel of a Man Without a Country

“…he knew no other pleasure but what consisted in opposition.”
