    A grayscale image of Martha Gellhorn is shown with a quote under it.

    People often say with pride, “I’m not interested in politics.” They might as well say, “I’m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.” … If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.

    Martha Gellhorn

    novelist, journalist, war coorespondent

    (1908 - 1998)
