What the fuck? Didn't you tell him you had a boyfriend?" "I did. He asked if I loved you." "Who is this guy? What's he do?" "He's an accountant in Boston." "An accountant? Jesus Christ, didn't you tell him you're dating a fucking war correspondent? ~ Michael Hastings
War Correspondent quotes by Michael Hastings
As a war correspondent, you have to weigh the risk you run against the story you can get. ~ Asne Seierstad
War Correspondent quotes by Asne Seierstad
I would say that the war correspondent gets more drinks, more girls, better pay, and greater freedom than the soldier, but at this stage of the game, having the freedom to choose his spot and being allowed to be a coward and not be executed for it is his torture. ~ Robert Capa
War Correspondent quotes by Robert Capa
A female war correspondent so popular that she had some credibility in saying she controlled half of her newspaper's circulation approached General Winfield Scott during the Mexican War with information that could help him. He was unwilling to get help from someone in petticoats. ~ Harold Holzer
War Correspondent quotes by Harold Holzer
I was a war correspondent. I've watched great people crumble under pressure and make bad decisions. ~ Peter Landesman
War Correspondent quotes by Peter Landesman
For a war correspondent to miss an invasion is like refusing a date with Lana Turner. ~ Robert Capa
War Correspondent quotes by Robert Capa
Kelly was starting to have serious second thoughts about the whole assignment. Like all war correspondents, she supposed. Being on the ground was very different to sitting in the office anticipating being on the ground. Especially with the appearance of that red cloud. ~ Peter F. Hamilton
War Correspondent quotes by Peter F. Hamilton
Then someone cried out, "Suicide bomber!" The crowd panicked. In the ensuing stampede, terrified pilgrims ran in both directions, many colliding in the middle of the bridge. A side railing collapsed under their weight, and scores leaped into the water whether they could swim or not. Hundreds were trampled to death. More than a thousand died. Hundreds of pairs of sandals were scattered around the bridge, left behind when pilgrims made their desperate dives into the river. I was given all of seventy-five seconds to tell the story on the Nightly News. ~ Richard Engel
War Correspondent quotes by Richard Engel
When you have been born in a war like me, living in a war as a child, when you have been in wars as a war correspondent all your life - trust me! You develop a form of fatalism; you are always ready to die. ~ Oriana Fallaci
War Correspondent quotes by Oriana Fallaci
I may have been in stage four, but I wasn't completely crazy. At least eighty-six journalists had been killed in Iraq, more than in any other conflict since World War II, and another thirty-eight had been taken hostage. More would die in the years to come. I knew I had to limit my movements and take special care when I did go out. ~ Richard Engel
War Correspondent quotes by Richard Engel
'Acting as if ... ' I decided, ridiculously in retrospect, that my experience covering women's volleyball for my college newspaper was sufficient for me to at least try to become a war correspondent. ~ Samantha Power
War Correspondent quotes by Samantha Power
I was a war correspondent and journalist for a long time, and I was very near the towers on 9/11 and very shortly after in Afghanistan. ~ Peter Landesman
War Correspondent quotes by Peter Landesman
The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues, and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
War Correspondent quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
The "herrenvolk" [master race] are all around you, threading their way on their bicycles between the piles of rubble or rushing off with jugs and buckets to meet the water cart. It is queer to think that these are the people who once ruled Europe, from the Channel to the Caspian Sea and might have conquered our own island, if they had known how weak we were. ~ George Orwell
War Correspondent quotes by George Orwell
If I could order any drink I wanted now, it would be a Sweet Rob Roy on the Rocks, a Manhattan made with Scotch. That was another drink a woman introduced me to, and it made me laugh instead of cry, and fall in love with the woman who said to try one. That was in Manila, after the excrement hit the air-conditioning in Saigon. She was Harriet Gummer, the war correspondent from Iowa. She had a son by me without telling me. His name? Rob Roy. ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
War Correspondent quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
It has always seemed to me that what I write about is humanity in extremis, pushed to the unendurable, and that it is important to tell people what really happens in wars. ~ Marie Colvin
War Correspondent quotes by Marie Colvin
I have to admit that the empty prestige and the stupid glory - yes, the horrible rush, the deadly sense of importance that war brings to life - are hard illusions to shake off. Look at me, a war correspondent. ~ Michael Hastings
War Correspondent quotes by Michael Hastings
Being a war correspondent, and having covered four wars, I know that wars very seldom solve things. ~ Asne Seierstad
War Correspondent quotes by Asne Seierstad
Reporters go through four stages in a war zone. In the first stage, you're Superman, invincible. In the second, you're aware that things are dangerous and you need to be careful. In the third, you conclude that math and probability are working against you. In the fourth, you know you're going to die because you've played the game too long. I was drifting into stage three. ~ Richard Engel
War Correspondent quotes by Richard Engel
It wasn't something I started off in my teens or early twenties thinking I want to be a war correspondent. I still don't think of myself as a war correspondent. I'm not. I'm a foreign correspondent. ~ Stephen Farrell
War Correspondent quotes by Stephen Farrell
I don't like the definition 'war correspondent'. It is history, not journalism, that has condemned the Middle East to war. I think 'war correspondent' smells a bit, reeks of false romanticism: it has too much of the whiff of Victorian reporters who would view battles from hilltops in the company of ladies, immune to suffering, only occasionally glancing towards the distant pop-pop of cannon fire. ~ Robert Fisk
War Correspondent quotes by Robert Fisk
Each day had the same bloody rhythm: mortars at dawn, car bombs by 11: 00 a.m., drive-by shootings before tea, and mortars again at dusk. At night the death squads went to work. ~ Richard Engel
War Correspondent quotes by Richard Engel
We were meat to be bought and sold. Speaking Arabic made me a curious and unusual product. I didn't want to be special. I didn't want them to be curious about me. ~ Richard Engel
War Correspondent quotes by Richard Engel
I could scarcely believe that my new home was engulfed by war before I even had time to find an apartment. It seemed that war followed me everywhere I went. ~ Richard Engel
War Correspondent quotes by Richard Engel
The terrorists want civil war. Al-Qaida is attacking Shiites. The Shiite militias are taking revenge on the Sunnis. And the Sunnis are become more extremist, with some joining al-Qaida. ~ Zalmay Khalilzad
War Correspondent quotes by Zalmay Khalilzad
One should make his decisions within the space of seven breaths. ~ Yamamoto Tsunetomo
War Correspondent quotes by Yamamoto Tsunetomo
I've had people tell me to get over it. I politely tell them, 'How about if I chop off your finger and see if it grows back? ~ Jim Sheeler
War Correspondent quotes by Jim Sheeler
Do they see the lethal insanity of a race to the brink of oblivion, and then over the edge? Apparently not. If they did, surely they wouldn't be racing to begin with. Or is it a simple failure of imagination? One doesn't like to think such a rudimentary failing could bring about the end, yet ... ~ Stephen King
War Correspondent quotes by Stephen King
Airbag

In the next world war
in a jack knifed juggernaut,
I am born again.

In the neon sign,
scrolling up and down,
I am born again.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In a deep deep sleep,
of the innocent,
I am born again.

In a fast German car,
I'm amazed that I survived,
an airbag saved my life.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe. ~ Radiohead
War Correspondent quotes by Radiohead
Now that the war is winding down, I want to say I do appreciate you fellows hanging around here - just for me. ~ Bob Hope
War Correspondent quotes by Bob Hope
She fit her head under his chin, and he could feel her weight settle into him. He held her tight and words spilled out of him without prior composition. And this time he made no effort to clamp them off. He told her about the first time he had looked on the back of her neck as she sat in the church pew. Of the feeling that had never let go of him since. He talked to her of the great waste of years between then and now. A long time gone. And it was pointless, he said, to think how those years could have been put to better use, for he could hardly have put them to worse. There was no recovering them now. You could grieve endlessly for the loss of time and the damage done therein. For the dead, and for your own lost self. But what the wisdom of the ages says is that we do well not to grieve on and on. And those old ones knew a thing or two and had some truth to tell, Inman said, for you can grieve your heart out and in the end you are still where you are. All your grief hasn't changed a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You're left with only your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not. But if you go on, it's knowing you carry your scars with you. Nevertheless, over all those wasted years, he had held in his mind the wish to kiss her on the back of her neck, and now he had done it. There was a redemption of some kind, he believed, in such complete fulfillment of a desire so long deferred. ~ Charles Frazier
War Correspondent quotes by Charles Frazier
I've always liked American actors particularly. Because that was my first impression. I was very enamoured of America when I was a kid because we were surrounded by American soldiers during the war, the accent was very strange to me, it was very exotic and very captivating. ~ Anthony Hopkins
War Correspondent quotes by Anthony Hopkins
People are deceived and drawn on step by step, till war, death and destruction are upon them. ~ William T. Sherman
War Correspondent quotes by William T. Sherman
If you would learn to speak all tongues and conform to the customs of all nations, if you would travel farther than all travellers, be naturalized in all climes, and cause the Sphinx to dash her head against a stone, even obey the precept of the old philosopher, and Explore thyself. Herein are demanded the eye and the nerve. Only the defeated and deserters go to the wars, cowards that run away and enlist. ~ Henry David Thoreau
War Correspondent quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Inside of every being there is a constant war being raged. The part that tell us to do what is right and what is decent and the part of us that is self-serving. The part that wants what it wants regardless of who is hurt getting it. ~ Kinley MacGregor
War Correspondent quotes by Kinley MacGregor
If there was one thing Rin had learned about her country's history, it was that the only permanent thing about the Nikara Empire was war. ~ R.F. Kuang
War Correspondent quotes by R.F. Kuang
We shall never be able to effect physical disarmament until we have succeeded in effecting moral disarmament. ~ Ramsay MacDonald
War Correspondent quotes by Ramsay MacDonald
The politicians always told us that the Cold War stand-off could only change by way of nuclear war. None of them believed that such systemic change was possible. ~ Lech Walesa
War Correspondent quotes by Lech Walesa
The rule of law in place of force, always basic to my thinking, now takes on a new relevance in a world where, if war is to go, only law can replace it. ~ Roger Nash Baldwin
War Correspondent quotes by Roger Nash Baldwin
In seven days God had created the Earth. In a single day mankind had turned it upside down. ~ Kristina McMorris
War Correspondent quotes by Kristina McMorris
I had dropped more or less by chance into the only community of any size in Western Europe where political consciousness and disbelief in capitalism were more normal than their opposites. Up here in Aragon one was among tens of thousands of people, mainly though not entirely of working-class origin, all living at the same level and mingling on terms of equality. In theory it was perfect equality, and even in practice it was not far from it. There is a sense in which it would be true to say that one was experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of Socialism. Many of the normal motives of civilized life - snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc. - had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money - tainted air of England; there was no one there except the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone else as his master. ~ George Orwell
War Correspondent quotes by George Orwell
For marriage is like life in this - that it is a field of battle, and not a bed of roses. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
War Correspondent quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Whether we're at war or have been attacked, the foundation of society is that you hold to the laws in place. I used to be somebody that trusted the government. Now I really don't trust anything. ~ Steven Hatfill
War Correspondent quotes by Steven Hatfill
This Irish war, small as it may seem now, will, if it is persisted in, corrupt and eventually ruin not only your army, but your Empire itself. What right has England to torment and demoralise Ireland? ~ Erskine Childers
War Correspondent quotes by Erskine Childers
Wars are fought to gain a certain objective. War itself is not the objective; victory is not the objective; you fight to remove the obstruction that comes in the way of your objective. If you let victory become the end in itself then you've gone astray and forgotten what you were originally fighting about. ~ Jawaharlal Nehru
War Correspondent quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
The Kosovars were granted autonomy at the end of World War II, but then aspiring president Milosevic had the autonomy revoked in 1989, and the Dayton Accords of 1995, which ended the recent war in Bosnia and Croatia, failed to address the issue of Kosovo's status. ~ Sebastian Junger
War Correspondent quotes by Sebastian Junger
The days are hot and the dead lie unburied. We cannot fetch them all in, if we did we should not know what to do with them. The shells will bury them ... ~ Enrich M. Remarque
War Correspondent quotes by Enrich M. Remarque
You must keep in mind that Pakistan has suffered the aftermaths of the Cold War, and that Cold War had left deep imprints on our society. We were the worst sufferers from the ills of the Afghan war. ~ Asif Ali Zardari
War Correspondent quotes by Asif Ali Zardari
War can so easily be gilt with romance and heroism and solemn national duty and patriotism and the like by persons whose superficial literary and oratorical talent covers an abyss of Godforsaken folly. ~ George Bernard Shaw
War Correspondent quotes by George Bernard Shaw
There is no need for propaganda to be rich in intellectual content. ~ Joseph Goebbels
War Correspondent quotes by Joseph Goebbels
One correspondent, who is into psychology, notes that in his experience people who are hoplophobes are nearly always nutty in other ways, too. Hoplophobia [fear of guns], of course, is not simply an attitude but rather an aberration in which the sufferer clings to an idea which he himself knows to be unsound, such as the idea that inanimate instruments have a will of their own or that lawbreakers abide by the law. ~ Jeff Cooper
War Correspondent quotes by Jeff Cooper
The only thing you can be sure of, Herr March, is that - whoever wins - still standing when the smoke of battle clears will be the banks of the cantons of Switzerland. ~ Robert Harris
War Correspondent quotes by Robert Harris
It was a failure of citizenship of the American people that the Bush cabal was allowed to invade Iraq. Thus, every U.S. citizen who is not doing everything in their power to end this illegal and immoral occupation as quickly as possible is complicit with the war crimes being committed in Iraq on a daily basis. ~ Dahr Jamail
War Correspondent quotes by Dahr Jamail
It is time to remind Sharon that the star of David belongs to all Jews, not to his repulsive Government. His actions are staining the star of David with blood. The Jewish people, whose gifts to civilised discourse include Einstein and Epstein, Mendelssohn and Mahler, Sergei Eisenstein and Billy Wilder, are now symbolised throughout the world by the blustering bully Ariel Sharon, a war criminal implicated in the murder of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila camps and now involved in killing Palestinians once again. ~ Gerald Kaufman
War Correspondent quotes by Gerald Kaufman
Where you are born should not dictate your potential as a human being. ~ Romeo Dallaire
War Correspondent quotes by Romeo Dallaire
Make it plain that you have no time for war, that you have more important things to do ... let the diplomats and marshals of the earth shoot each other. ~ Wilhelm Reich
War Correspondent quotes by Wilhelm Reich
So shall we come to look at the world with new eyes. It shall answer the endless inquiry of the intellect, - What is truth? and of the affections, - What is good? by yielding itself passive to the educated Will ... Build, therefore, your own world. As fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold its great proportions. A correspondent revolution in things will attend the influx of the spirit. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
War Correspondent quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The critical point is that thousands of people are swept into the criminal justice system every year pursuant to the drug war without much regard for their guilt or innocence. The police are allowed by the courts to conduct fishing expeditions for drugs on the streets and freeways based on nothing more than a hunch...and once inside the system, people are often denied attorneys or meaningful representation and pressured into plea bargains by the threat of unbelievably harsh sentences - sentences for minor drug crimes that are higher than many countries impose on convicted murderers. This is the way the roundup works, and it works this way in virtually every major city in the United States. ~ Michelle Alexander
War Correspondent quotes by Michelle Alexander
What I've learned from these long voyages of ours is that, in the end, we all strive for our own good. It does not matter what race we are, who we are… We have that one thing in common – the wish to live this life the best way possible. Hence, our definitions of 'good' and 'bad' always remain subjective – no matter how many perspectives we consider, no matter how objective we try to be, we still judge according to our own beliefs, principles, and opinions – things that we develop throughout our entire life. In truth, nothing is either 'good' or 'bad' but is both good and bad, all at the same time, depending on the perspective and the relation with other matters. This world is much more versatile than we thought it was. The only universal truth is the energy of life and love – the unending circle, and the undying emotion – interconnected for eternity. Life bears love, and love bears life. Hence, I believe that whatever era may come, major concepts shall never change. We should pave our way and live to our content, staying harmonious with ourselves, because in the end, we shall never know what is right and what is wrong. We interrelate just like the tiniest substances – molecules, atoms, etc. – and the biggest substances – planets, galaxies, universes… During these interrelations, there shall be unions as well as collisions, destructions as well as creations… As long as we live, there shall be both oppositions and friendships. There shall be peace, there shall be war, and then ~ Tamuna Tsertsvadze
War Correspondent quotes by Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Obama was the most powerful man in the world, but that didn't mean he could control the forces at play in the Middle East. There was no Nelson Mandela who could lead a country to absolution for its sins and ours. Extremist forces were exploiting the Arab Spring. Reactionary forces - with deep reservoirs of political support in the United States - were intent on clinging to power. Bashar al-Assad was going to fight to the death, backed by his Russian and Iranian sponsors. Factions were going to fight it out in the streets of Libya. The Saudis and Emiratis were going to stamp out political dissent in Egypt before it could come to their kingdoms. A Likud prime minister was going to mouth words about peace while building settlements that made peace impossible. Meanwhile, innocent people were going to suffer, some of them were going to be killed, and there didn't seem to be anything I could do about it. Obama had reached that conclusion before I had. History had opened up a doorway in 2011 that, by the middle of 2013, had been slammed shut. There would be more war, more conflict, and more suffering, until - someday - old men would make peace. ~ Ben Rhodes
War Correspondent quotes by Ben  Rhodes
Tell me it was for the hunger
& nothing less. For hunger is to give
the body what it knows

it cannot keep. That this amber light
whittled down by another war
is all that pins my hand
to your chest."

"On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous ~ Ocean Vuong
War Correspondent quotes by Ocean Vuong
While we have driven out other Nazi verbal monstrosities, the terminology of the war on drugs has lingered. It's no longer a matter of Jews - the dangerous dealers are now said to be part of different cultural circles. ~ Norman Ohler
War Correspondent quotes by Norman Ohler
You are truly living when you have inner peace. You are far away from the beauty of life when you are fighting a war. ~ Debasish Mridha
War Correspondent quotes by Debasish Mridha
Councils of war breed timidity and defeatism. ~ William Manchester
War Correspondent quotes by William Manchester
For a moment...for a moment. We are eternal. We are every warrior forced to kill and die for a cause no one will remember in years to come. Every adversary who ever felt blade cleave into bone. Every crimson-stained fighter who died for nothing. I imagine the first beings left here by the gods died thus. And when the sun sets on our race, the last two men will have their brothers' blood on their blades. ~ Gail Simone
War Correspondent quotes by Gail Simone
First make yourself unbeatable, then go to war." -Sun Tzu ~ Phil Pierce
War Correspondent quotes by Phil Pierce
The possession of unnecessary implements makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues and tends to foment uprisings. ~ Toyotomi Hideyoshi
War Correspondent quotes by Toyotomi Hideyoshi
