Erich Maria Remarque. The life of a loan (№ 165699)

- But during the war all the people gave a vow, if I live not to repeat this error. But one quickly forgets everything.
And did you all forgot? asked Lillian.
- Tried my best. But I did not quite succeed.
- Maybe I love you that's why?
You don't love me. If you loved me, you wouldn't tell me about it.
- Maybe I love you because you don't think about the future?
- Then you'd have to love all the men in the sanatorium. <...>
- Why do I love you?
- Because I'm with you. And because you love life. And I'm a nameless piece of life. It is dangerous.
