"I want my work to become part of our visual history, to enter our collective memory and our collective conscience. I hope it will serve to remind us that history's deepest tragedies concern not the great protagonists who set events in motion but the countless ordinary people who are caught up in those events and torn apart by their remorseless fury. I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated." - James Nachtwey - International Center of Photography Press Release

"I used to call myself a war photographer. Now I consider myself as an antiwar photographer. - James Nachtwey - "American Photo", January/February 2000

"I want my pictures to cut through political abstractions... and make a connection on a human level." - James Nachtwey

"I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated." - James Nachtwey
