Robert Capa quotes about
If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.
It’s not enough to have talent. You also have to be Hungarian.
The war photographer's most fervent wish is for unemployment
What's the point of getting killed if you've got the wrong exposure?
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.
