The war photographer's most fervent wish is for unemployment

You don't have to pose your camera. The pictures are there, and you just take them. The truth is the best picture, the best propaganda. (On the Spanish Civil War, 1937)

What's the point of getting killed if you've got the wrong exposure?

It's not always easy to stand aside and be unable to do anything except record the sufferings around one.

In a war, you must hate somebody or love somebody; you must have a position or you cannot stand what goes on

The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business.

If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough.
