    • 1942, Stefan Zweig, Die Welt von Gestern [The World of Yesterday]‎:
      Irgendein Krieg geschah wohl irgendwo in ihren Tagen, aber doch nur ein Kriegchen, gemessen an den Dimensionen von heute, und er spielte sich weit an der Grenze ab, man hörte nicht die Kanonen, und nach einem halben Jahre war er erloschen, vergessen, ein dürres Blatt Geschichte, und es begann wieder das alte, dasselbe Leben.
