We came to realise - first with astonishment, then bitterness, and finally with indifference - that intellect apparently wasn't the most important thing...not ideas, but the system; not freedom, but drill. We had joined up with enthusiasm and with good will; but they did everything to knock that out of us.
Erich Maria Remarque
My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel? it is, before all, to make you see. That? and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm? all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.
Joseph Conrad
