He is right. We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer, we believe in war.
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
The quote from Erich Maria Remarque’s novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, encapsulates the profound disillusionment and existential crisis experienced by soldiers during World War I.
The novel, published in 1929, is narrated by Paul Bäumer, a young German soldier who, along with his classmates, is encouraged to join the army by their schoolmaster.

Don’t tip anyone: “Tipping is just not part of the culture. Don’t even leave the small change. People will come running after you with it.”
Don’t wear your shoes in someone’s house: “If you see other people taking their shoes off, do the same. (Note: there’s a small area right inside the entrance called a ‘genkan’ which is usually one level below the rest of the house, where you take off your shoes. You don’t take them off outside the house!)”
Don’t hug people you just met: “Most people don’t like it, especially older folk.”
Don’t stand on the wrong side of the escalator: “In Tokyo you stand on the left. In Osaka you stand on the right. Follow what other people are doing.”

These are helpful things to look for when trying to gauge attraction.
1. If you’re talking to a cashier and she tells you for any reason when she gets off work, she wants you to come back.
2. If a girl gives you her number, on some level she is interested. Meaning she gives it to you without you prompting her first, though often if she gives it to you after you ask her it still means she’s interested* If a girl repeatedly mentions how she wishes she had a nice guy to date, she is interested.

The Western Front of World War I wasn’t just a battlefield – it was a purgatory. Miles of muddy trenches separated enemies, creating a desolate no man’s land teeming with death. Yet, from this stagnant stalemate emerged a terror unlike any other: the trench raider.
