Erich Maria Remarque
"No," he said quickly. "Never. Stay friends? Try to grow a small rose garden on the ashes of broken feelings? No, this will never work for you and me. It happens only after small affairs and it looks fake. Love should not be spoiled by friendship."

*

*
"I have always thought a woman should not tell a man she is in love with him. Her shining and happy eyes should bear witness to that."
*
"You have to break your principles sometimes. Otherwise they bring you no joy."
*

*
"Nothing’s lost yet," I said. "You only lose someone when he’s dead."
