Sebastian Junger Quotes

The cause doesn’t have to be righteous and battle doesn’t have to be winnable; but over and over again throughout history, men have chosen to die in battle with their friends rather than to flee on their own and survive Picture Quote #1

Maybe the ultimate wound is the one that makes you miss the war you got it in Picture Quote #1

How do men act on a sinking ship? Do they hold each other? Do they pass around the whisky? Do they cry? Picture Quote #1

The only thing that makes battle psychologically tolerable is the brotherhood among soldiers. You need each other to get by Picture Quote #1

It’s fun to have money, but the more money I get, the less interesting it becomes. If you don’t have very much, you have to think about it. If you are starving, you become interested in food. If you are struggling to pay the bills, money becomes tragically important Picture Quote #1

There’s no reason to do anything twice, and certainly no reason to do something that almost killed you Picture Quote #1

The negative effects of combat were nightmares, and I’d get jumpy around certain noises and stuff, but you’d have that after a car accident or a bad divorce. Life’s filled with trauma. You don’t need to go to war to find it it’s going to find you. We all deal with it, and the effects go away after awhile. At least they did for me Picture Quote #1

I’m a good liberal, and I grew up in a very liberal family and had very strongly held beliefs Picture Quote #1

I think human society for tens of thousands of years has sent young men out in small groups to do things that are necessary but very dangerous. And they’ve always gotten killed doing it. And they’ve always turned it into a matter of honor and a way of gaining acceptance back into society if they survived Picture Quote #1

I’ve stopped war reporting. I realized that I’d answered all of my questions about war and about myself Picture Quote #1

Who wants a life of ease? And who wants a life in the office that you hate, and who wants to play golf? Picture Quote #1

I have been working since I was 20, and I’m 38. I actually once averaged out what I had made over my professional life. I think I could have made that much as a waiter or an insurance salesman. You know, I spent so many years in my 20’s making $10,000 a year Picture Quote #1

I think objectivity is like this strange myth that people think you’re supposed to achieve, but actually, the dirty little secret is that it’s not attainable any more than pure justice is attainable by the courts Picture Quote #1

No matter how many people you kill, using a machine gun in battle is not a war crime because it does not cause unnecessary suffering; it simply performs its job horrifyingly well Picture Quote #1

When you’re scared, you’re still hanging on to life. When you’re ready to die, you let it go. A sort of emptying out occurs, a giving up on the world that seems oddly familiar even if you’ve never done it before Picture Quote #1
