“I think it’s more a kind of fever, Nobody really wants it,
but all of a sudden, there it is. We didn’t want the war, they say the same
thing on the other side – and in spite of that, half the world is at it hammer
and tongs. - Albert Kropp”

“What
were
you supposed to
say to someone who was about to have their life taken away from them? It
didn’t matter what they did for a living. They didn’t have any vacation
plans. It didn’t matter the music, television shows, or films that they liked.
There was literally no point in taking the time to get to know them. In fact,
if anything, it would have only made it harder. What if they had a story to
tell? What if they played an important role in society?”

“You have no idea. You don’t know what you have. You have your youth and you’re beautiful, but you’re hungry, and that hunger blinds you to what you already have. All those raging hormones, making every decision for you. You’re always hurting, but you’ve never been hurt. Not really. Later on, though, you’ll realize youth is truly wasted on the young.
Right now, you’re pretending you’re what, twenty-one? Later on, you’ll
want to be twenty-one again. Really, no matter what age you are—ten
or a hundred—you’ll want to be twenty-one.
And, just as when you were a little kid, you’ll demand your dignity
before you earn it.”
― Suffer the Children

“In retrospect, all the signs were there. I just gave him (and the world)
too much credit I suppose. I thought projecting my good intentions onto
others would act as a safeguard. But benevolence, charm, and charity will
be of little help once you fall into the clutches of a heartless heathen.
