Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “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 Quote: “It is a strange thing that all the memories have these two qualities. They are always full of quietness, that is the most striking thing about them; and even when things weren’t like that in reality, they still seem to have that quality. They are soundless apparitions, which speak to me by looks and gestures, wordless and silent – and their silence is precisely what disturbs me.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men.”

Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “It was a melancholy secret that reality can arouse desires but never satisfy them.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “Sometimes I used to think that one day i should wake up, and all that had been would be over. forgotten, sunk, drowned. Nothing was sure – not even memory.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “One is never too young. Only always too old.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “When we love each other we are immortal and indestructible like the heartbeat and the rain and the wind.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “The best way to lose a woman was to show her a kind of life that one could offer her for only a few days.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “We have lost all feeling for one another. We can hardly control ourselves when our glance lights on the form of some other man. We are insensible, dead men, who through some trick, some dreadful magic, are still able to run and to kill.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “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.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “At school nobody ever taught us how to light a cigarette in a storm of rain, nor how a fire could be made with wet wood-nor that it is best to stick a bayonet in the belly because there it doesn’t get jammed, as it does in the ribs.”

Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “A word of command has made these silent figures our enemies; a word of command might transform them into our friends. At some table a document is signed by some persons whom none of us knows, and then for years together that very crime on which formerly the world’s condemnation and severest penalty fall, becomes our highest aim.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “Someone said to me once that a cigarette at the right moment is better than all the ideals in the world.”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces.”

Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony – Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?”
Erich Maria Remarque Quote: “Nothing is the mirror in which you see the world.”
