quotes by Martha Gellhorn

""I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother ... ""
— Martha Gellhorn

"travel is compost for the mind"
— Martha Gellhorn

""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
