Favorite Guy Sajer Quotes

1. "I have used the words and expressions which my experiences from Minsk to Kharkov to the Don suggested to me. But I should have reserved those words and expressions for what came later, even though they are not strong enough. It is a mistake to use intense words without carefully weighing and measuring them, or they will have already been used when one needs them later. It's a mistake, for instance, to used the word frightful to describe a few broken up companions mixed into the ground: but it's a mistake that might be forgiven." ~ Guy Sajer
2. "War always reaches the depths of horror because of idiots who perpetuate terror from generation to generation under the pretext of vengeance." ~ Guy Sajer
3. "Only happy people have nightmares, from overeating. For those who live a nightmare reality, sleep is a black hole, lost in time, like death." ~ Guy Sajer
4. "As I remember his laugh, there was nothing mad about it, it was more like the laugh of someone who has been the victim of a practical joke, a farce in which he had believed until suddenly he realized his folly." ~ Guy Sajer
5. "No time to spare: the expression assumed its full significance, as so many expressions do in wartime." ~ Guy Sajer
6. "Only victors have stories to tell,we the vanquished were then thought ofas cowards and weaklings whose memoriesand fears should not be remembered." ~ Guy Sajer
7. "The problems I had existed before I did, and I discovered them." ~ Guy Sajer
8. "I had often thought that if I managed to live through the war I wouldn't expect too much of life. How could one resent disappointment in love if life itself was continuously in doubt? Since Belgorod, terror had overturned all my preconceptions, and the pace of life had been so intense one no longer knew what elements of ordinary life to abandon in order to maintain some semblance of balance. I was still unresigned to the idea of death, but I had already sworn to myself during moments of intense fear that I would exchange anything - fortune, love, even a limb - if I could simply survive." ~ Guy Sajer

Today's Quote

I was hoping they'd put up flyers like they do for lost cats," he said. "Missing, one stunningly attractive teenage boy. Answers to 'Jace' or 'Hot Stuff'." "You did not just say that.'"You don't like 'Hot Stuff'? You think 'Sweet Cheeks' might be better? 'Love Crumpets'? Really, that last one's stretching it a bit. Though, technically, my family is British-""Shut up, and get out."
