The war correspondent has his stake - his life - in his own hands, and he can put it on this horse or that horse, or he can put it back in his pocket at the very last minute.

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

The war photographer's most fervent wish is for unemployment

The truth is the best picture, the best propaganda.

It’s not enough to have talent. You also have to be Hungarian.

The [concentration camps] were swarming with photographers and every new picture of horror served only to diminish the total effect. Now, for a short day, everyone will see what happened to those poor devils in those camps; tomorrow, very few will care what happens to them in the future.

I hope to stay unemployed as a war photographer till the end of my life.
