“But by pointing to such truths as the fact that we are all bound to die before long and therefore nothing matters a jot, you simply reduce the whole of life to something shallow and idiotic. So, what are we supposed to do? Just jettison everything, give up all our thought, humanity? And allow ambition and money to go on ruling us and wait over a glass of beer for the next mobilization to take place?”

“To split up the ostensible unity of the person into all these different pieces is considered mad. Science has coined the term schizophrenia for it.

“My unhappiness was stupid, barren. Because if I wanted to die, and I did, I ought not to have been so afraid of death. The unhappiness I’m in need of and longing for is different. It’s of a kind that will make me hunger for suffering and lust for death. That’s the sort of unhappiness, or happiness, I’m waiting for.”

“He was no different from the newspaper readers he so despised and derided who, because it was less painful than learning the harsh lesson of all they had endured, longed to return to those ideal tomes before the war.”
