Regret is the most useless thing in the world. One cannot recall anything. And one cannot rectify anything. Otherwise we would all be saints. Life did not intend to make us perfect. Whoever is perfect belongs in a museum.

I just finished reading All Quiet on the Western Front and I have so many thoughts and feelings, I don't know where to put them, what to do with them, how to deal with them.

One must be faithful. Loyalty to your word, to your commitments, to others, to yourself. You have to be the kind of person who never fails. 💎

Ne te précipite pas, tu te retardes

C’est étonnant, le nombre de choses que nous faisons sans en avoir envie, sans qu’elles nous paraissent nécessaires, ou plus grave, sans qu’elles soient de nature à nous rendre heureux. Juste pour rassurer ou faire plaisir à ceux que nous aimons. * Pourquoi les aspects/pensées/remarques/commentaires négatifs sont-ils beaucoup plus importants/préoccupants à nos yeux que les choses positives et…

I found a tattered book in the camp library, published in the year of my birth. This is Remarque's novel “A Time to Live and a Time to Die.” I read it in one sitting - and guess what?

In my opinion, Remarque addresses us through the mouth of his character, the teacher Pohlman, who was arrested by the Gestapo. Literally to each of you and me.

Here's what he says:

“The world does not stand still. And if you despair of your own country, you must believe in him. An eclipse of the sun is possible, but not eternal night… Don't give up so quickly and fall into despair. Are there enough people left to start over again, you ask? Christianity began with a few fishermen, with a few believers in the catacombs, and with those who survived in the arenas of Rome.

…There has never been such a tyranny in the world that would not come to an end. Humanity did not move forward along a smooth road, but always in pushes, jerks, with retreats and convulsions. We were too arrogant, we imagined that our bloody past had already been overcome. And now we know that we only have to look around, and it will immediately overtake us.”

Now is the time to read and reread Remarque, friends.

"What could he do, should've been a father but he never made it to his twenties. What a waste, army dreamers. Ooh, what a waste of army dreamers" I've recently been watching some war films for research purposes for a short film project I'm hoping to complete by the end of the year, of course, All Quiet on the Western Front is my favorite movie, I've seen the 1930s one before but never gotten around to the 2022 one.It's possibly one of my favorite films ever and I've never sobbed as much, I've brought the book as well and will be reading it over the week. Volker Bertelmann will pay for my therapy bills because this movie's score is hauntingly beautiful and fills me with such grief. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it <3
