“There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune, on such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves or lose our ventures”
― Julias Caeser

“I know nothing
about them except that they are prisoners-of-war, and that is precisely what
shakes me. Their lives are anonymous and blameless; if I knew more about
them, what they are called, how they live, what their hopes and fears are,
then my feelings might have a focus and could turn into sympathy. But at the
moment all I sense in them is the pain of the dumb animal, the fearful
melancholy of life and the pitilessness of men.

- Paul Buemer”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

“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?”
― Matt Shaw

“People who write the false things and cause a disrupt ought to be strung up.
They’re the real villains”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
