All Quiet on the Western Front

'I am young, I am twenty years of age; but I know nothing of life except despair, death, fear, and the combination of completely mindless superficiality with an abyss of suffering. I see people being driven against one another, and silently, uncomprehendingly, foolishly, obediently and innocently killing one another. I see the best brains in the world inventing weapons and words to make the whole process that much more sophisticated and long-lasting. And watching this with me are all my contemporaries, here and on the other side, all over the world - my whole generation is experiencing this with me. What would our fathers do if one day we rose up and confronted them, and called them to account? What do they expect from us when a time comes in which there is no more war? For years our occupation has been killing - that was the first experience we had. Our knowledge of life is limited to death. What will happen afterwards? And what can possibly become of us?'

One of thee best books I read in a long time. Very thought provoking, I forgot at times it was a non fiction book.

man vienkārši nav risinājuma, es nožēloju, ka es to izlasīju, es esmu pateicīga par to, ka es to izlasīju, tā ir mana mīļākā grāmata pasaulē un es ceru, ka man vairs nekad nebūs tā jāpiemin vai jāatceras
