Erich Maria Remarque quote: "We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it..."
We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through. Erich Maria Remarque
We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial—I believe we are lost. Erich Maria Remarque
The crowd, still shouting, gives way before us. We plough our way through. Women hold their aprons over their faces and go stumbling away. A roar of fury goes up. A wounded man is being carried off. Erich Maria Remarque
Beside us lies a fair-headed recruit in utter terror. He has buried his face in his hands, his helmet has fallen off. I fish hold of it and try to put it back on his head. He looks up, pushes the helmet off and like a child creeps under my arm, his head close to my breast. The little shoulders heave. Shoulders just like Kemmerich's. I let him be. Erich Maria Remarque
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "Our damnable memory is a sieve. It wants to survive. And..."
Our damnable memory is a sieve. It wants to survive. And survival is only possible through forgetfulness. Erich Maria Remarque
We lie under the network of arching shells and live in a suspense of uncertainty. If a shot comes, we can duck, that is all; we neither know nor can determine where it will fall." - All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 6 Erich Maria Remarque
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "Sweet dreams though the guns are booming."
Sweet dreams though the guns are booming. Erich Maria Remarque
The wisest were just the poor and simple people. They knew the war to be a misfortune, whereas those who were better off, and should have been able to see more clearly what the consequences would be, were beside themselves with joy. Erich Maria Remarque
Kat and Kropp get in an argument over the war as they rest from an hour’s worth of drill (occasioned by Tjaden’s not saluting a major properly). Kat believes the war would be over if leaders gave all the participants “the same grub and the same pay,” as he says in a rhyme. Kropp believes the leaders of each country should fight each other in an arena to settle the war; the “wrong” people currently do the fighting. Erich Maria Remarque
[T]his is really the only thing: just to sit quietly, like this. They understand of course, they agree, they may even feel it so too, but only with words, only with words, yes that is it - they feel it, but always with only half of themselves, the rest of their being taken up by with other things, they are so divided in themselves that none feels it with his whole essence; Erich Maria Remarque
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated..."
The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom. Erich Maria Remarque
The later it gets the more disturbed the city becomes. I go with Albert through the streets. Men are standing in groups at every corner. Rumours are flying. It is said that the military have already fired on a procession of demonstrating workers. Erich Maria Remarque
I, too, am going to go away soon,' she says, 'I am weary and weary of my weariness. Everything is beginning to be a little empty and full of leave-taking and melancholy and waiting. Erich Maria Remarque
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "You may turn into an archangel, a fool, or a criminal—no one..."
You may turn into an archangel, a fool, or a criminal—no one will see it. But when a button is missing—everyone sees that. Erich Maria Remarque
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often..."
It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men. Erich Maria Remarque
