Officialdom is hostile to inquiring outsiders (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It’s great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I’m not complaining,... Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven’t done what they wanted with their lives. (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
The world’s fat is badly divided (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)

After the desperate years of their own war, after six years of repression inside Spain and six years of horror in exile, these people remain intact in spirit. They are armed with a transcendent faith; they have never won, and yet they have never accepted defeat (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Between his eyes, there were four lines, the marks of such misery as children should never feel. He spoke with that wonderful whisky voice that so many Spanish children have, and he was a tough and entire little boy (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Thousand got away to other countries; thousands returned to Spain tempted by false promises of kindness. By the tens of thousands, these Spaniards died of neglect in the concentration camps (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
People may correctly remember the events of twenty years ago (a remarkable feat), but who remembers his fears, his disgusts, his tone of voice? It is like trying to bring back the weather of that time (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Joseph McCarthy, the Junior Republican Senator from Wisconsin, ruled America like devil king for four years. His purges were an American mirror image of Stalin’s purges, an unnoticed similarity (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
America has made no reparation to the Vietnamese, nothing. We are the richest people in the world and they are among the poorest. We savaged them, though they had never hurt us, and we cannot find it in our hearts, our honor, to give them help-because the government of Vietnam is Communist. And perhaps because they won (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Americans did not acquire their fear neurosis as the result of a traumatic experience - war devasting their country, pestilence sweeping the land, famine wiping out helpless millions. Americans had to be taught to hate and fear an unseen enemy. The teachers were men in official positions, in government, men whom Americans normally trust without question (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
From the earliest wars of men to our last heart-breaking worldwide effort, all we could do was kill ourselves. Now we are able to kill the future (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Once you get a tyranny, you don’t easily get rid of it. Much better to remember about eternal vigilance. (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Travel is compost for the mind (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Life is not long at all, never long enough, but days are very long indeed (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
I followed the war wherever I could reach it (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
I do not see myself as a footnote to someone else’s life (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
I didn’t write. I just wandered about (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
The private conscience is the last and only protection of the civilized world (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
I daresay I was the worst bed partner in five continents (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
I only knew about daily life. It was said, well, it isn’t everybody’s daily life. That is why I started (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Once you get a tyranny, you don’t easily get rid of it. Much better to remember about eternal vigilance (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
The English don’t go in for imagination: imagination is considered to be improper if not downright alarmist (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
If I were a first rate writer, I wouldn’t mind a bit. What does depress me is this: it is so desperately hard and so obsessive and so lonely to write that, in return for all this work, one would like a little self satisfaction. And that is never going to come, for the simple reason that I do not deserve it. I cannot be a good enough writer. You see? I call it grim. But the future looks awfully clear to me (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Citizenship is a tough occupation which obliges the citizen to make his own informed opinion and stand by it (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Furthermore, they were constantly informed by all the camp authorities that they had been abandoned by the world: they were beggars and lucky to receive the daily soup of starvation (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit (Martha Gellhorn Quotes)
