(Ravic speaking of a butterfly caught in the Louvre) In the morning it would search for flowers and life and the light honey of blossoms and would not find them and later it would fall asleep on millennial marble, weakened by then, until the grip of the delicate, tenacious feet loosened and it fell, a thin leaf of premature autumn.

Erich Maria Remarque

They are more to me than life, these voices, they are more than motherliness and more than fear; they are the strongest, most comforting thing there is anywhere: they are the voices of my comrades.

После отново чух гласа на оня ухаещ на парфюм веселяк, който ми обясняваше, че не сега, а след време, когато ще го моля коленопреклонно, ще ме изгори жив, и ми разказваше какво ще стане с очите ми.

Katczinsky says it is all to do with education - it softens the brain.

Erich Maria Remarque


Go to quote


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.
