“In their loving kindness, they use the collars to torment us. 'This is nothing compared to the fires of hell,' they tell us. 'Learn your lessons or you'll suffer like this for all eternity!' How can they do what they do if they believe what they say?”

“Something imaginative, which would slay bounty hunters...whatever they were. He had an indistinct, glimpsed darkly impression: of something merciless that carried a printed list and a gun, that moved machine-like through the flat, bureaucratic job of killing. A thing without emotions or even a face; a thing that if killed got replaced immediately by another resembling it. And so on, until everyone real and alive had been shot.”

“But he himself remained high on his rock, like a drowned sailor on a rock. I leant over the edge of the boat and fell down, he thought, I went under the sea. I have been dead and yet am now alive, but let me rest still, he begged”

“Because one thing has become clear to me: you can cope with all the horror as long as you simply duck thinking about it – but it will kill you if you try to come to terms with it.”
― All Quiet on the Western Front

“I am young, I am twenty years of age; but I know nothing of life except despair, death, fear, and the combination of completely mindless superficiality with an abyss of suffering. I see people being driven against one another, and silently, uncomprehendingly, foolishly, obediently and innocently killing one another. I see the best brains in the world inventing weapons and words to make the whole process that much more sophisticated and long-lasting. And watching this with me are all my contemporaries, here and on the other side, all over the world- my whole generation is experiencing this with me. What would our fathers do if one day we rose up and confronted them, and called them to account?”
