Losers have no right to show their wounds

Paul, who went home for vacation after being injured, saw that the teacher encouraged him (s) again like a new year. He encouraged a group of students younger than them to join the army, and was invited by the teacher to speak for the younger brothers and sisters and serve the motherland.
Thinking of yesterday, a teacher, a very responsible teacher, invited a senior who spent two classes to speak for us: Postgraduate entrance examination!
Senior Sister is naturally impassioned, high-spirited, ambitious, and full of high aspirations. After all, if you become famous, your words are tough. The so-called winner is the king and the loser is a bandit. Self-confidence comes from success, not success from self-confidence.
I would like to ask everyone who took the postgraduate entrance examination-----people who used to work as hard as that senior, and all the research friends on the first floor of the school library who were suppressed like the one at the bottom of Leifeng Pagoda, are all qualified. Do you stand on the stage like her and entice us?
too little.
If Paul hadn't seen the deaths of so many of his comrades, had not experienced the cruelty of war, if he had loved war, returned home, and had medals on his body, maybe he wouldn't have said: Serving the motherland is not so easy! However, he doesn't even have this qualification. He is just a coward and a loser. The experience, mood and situation of failure and disappointment are not qualified to stand on the stage to publicize and show, even for warning!
So, who will tell us: don't take the postgraduate entrance exam!

All Quiet on the Western Front quotes

  • Ginger - the Cook: [looking at soldiers lined up to eat] What do you want?

    Katczinsky: Beans, you homely-looking son of a frog's leg! What do you think I want?

    Ginger - the Cook: [the men shout that they're hungry] Shut up! I'll feed you when you're all here.

    Tjaden: We're all here now!

    Ginger - the Cook: Only half the company's here. Get the rest! Wake 'em up!

    Katczinsky: [the men laugh] I wish I could wake 'em up. There's 80 of us left. The rest is in dressin' stations or pushin' up daisies!

    Ginger - the Cook: [shocked] 80? And I cooked for 150!

    Westhus: All right, we'll have enough for once. Come on, dish out!

    Tjaden: You mean you've cooked beans for 150?

    [the cook nods]

    Tjaden: And you've got bread for 150 and sausage for 150 and tobacco for 150?

    Ginger - the Cook: Everything. It's all wrong. I should have been notified!

    Katczinsky: What a feast! Everyone gets two issues!

    [the waiting men shout]

    Katczinsky: [trying to keep order in the ranks] Get back in line! Get back in line!

    Ginger - the Cook: Oh, no, that woun't do. I can't give 80 men what's meant for 150.

    Katczinsky: [he starts to punch the cook but thinks better of it and tries to be persuasive] Listen, you drew rations for the Second Company, didn't yuh?

    Ginger - the Cook: Yes.

    Katczinsky: All right, we're the Second Company!

    [the men shout]

    Ginger - the Cook: I got my orders.

    Albert Kropp: [agreeing with Kat] That's right.

    Paul Bäumer: We're the Second Company and if only half of us get back, that's our good luck. Come on, dish it out!

    Ginger - the Cook: [the men shout] No!

    Katczinsky: [grabbing the cook by the throat] You're the yellowest baboon that ever drew a cook wagon, and you're scared, and it shows! All we want to hear out of you is one more little yip, and we'll cut yuh up and eat you raw! Why, you keep your kitchen so far back of the lines, we never get anything to eat until it's cold and we're asleep. Now, you low doen rat, get out, or we wreck the joint, so help me!

    [the men shout]

    Katczinsky: Come on, give us some food!

  • Tjaden: There used to be some food in the sawdust. Now it's all sawdust.
