...commission pleaded for a clear separation in the public mind between "peaceful, orderly and lawful protest," which the university and society should tolerate and even encourage, and "violent and terroristic protest," which must be dealt with...
...copies in 45 languages after its publication in 1929; in Locarno, Switzerland. A classic of pacifism, All Quiet focused on the tragic destiny of the defeated German soldier of World War I. The best of his later novels (Arch of Triumph, The Road Back, The Night in Lisbon) dealt with war-wasted human remnants moving across a charred European landscape. Remarque, whose second wife was Screen Actress Paulette Goddard, once said that "hatred is not a good medium for one's lifework"; his own medium as a writer was pity and terror, conveyed in compelling prose and an exact...
...interesting to note that Heinlein has dealt with the same theme: that of a man who fathers a child by himself. "All You Zombies," one of his very early tales, tells of a young woman (a foundling discovered on the steps of an orphanage) who joins the Time Patrol, a group which regulates the clandestine commerce between time periods.

She then becomes disgusted with being a woman and undergoes radical surgery...

"Realism," Godard once said, "is never exactly the truth, and the realism of cinema is obligatorily faked." In Vent de L'est, even the lies are faked, and the incessant, didactic narrators are finally...
...what then, if one marches into one's unhappiness, and refuses to leave until every social force that contributes to human suffering is dealt with? Will whole new realms of discrepancy open up? Is that vision of the city, of totally insoluble chaos, a correct one? The revolution, whose insatiable thirst for action we would allow to possess our selves, where will it go? Organizing, building dream cities with understandable electricity, waiting for the big apocalyptic brawl. How is one ever to assure oneself of the immediacy and solidity of one's vision, amid what often seems its complete transparency...
