“Life did not intend to make us perfect. Whoever is perfect belongs in a museum. ”
Erich Maria Remarque

“I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another."
-All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 10”
Erich Maria Remarque

“It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.”
Erich Maria Remarque, Three Comrades
