Literature After the WarLoss of faith: T.S. Elliot “Hollow Man”• “This is the way the world
ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. “
All Quiet on the Western Front•
"The war has ruined us for everything." - Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 5
"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 the war." - Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 5

Freud and Psychoanalysis• The study of the
mind• Why do we behave
the way we do• Is there a
subconscious that makes us do things we arent really thinking about
• And now, I think, the meaning of evolution of civilization is no longer obscure to us. It must present the struggle between Eros and Death, between the instinct of life and the instinct of destruction, as it works itself out in the human species. This struggle is what all life essentially consists of, and the evolution of civilization may therefore be simply described as the struggle for life of the human species.
