Guerrilla Quotations
The conventional army loses if it does not win. The guerrilla wins if he does not lose.
Henry A. Kissinger
The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.
Mao Tse-Tung
The situation in the West Bank and Gaza involves a military occupation amid urban guerrilla warfare, analogous to the British security measures in Northern Island, that hopefully will end with a cease-fire.
Jack Schwartz
But now that the guerrilla fighting is over, the Spaniards are again men without a country or families or homes or work, though everyone appreciates very much what they did.
Martha Gellhorn
I'll need every ounce that I have to drive it through. Film and TV require that energy. Sometimes fight scenes can be pretty intense. When I was shooting "Heaven" it was truly guerrilla film-making.
Karl Urban
At first, we couldn't be establishment, because we didn't have any money. We were guerrilla marketers, and we still are, a little bit. But, as we became No. 1 in our industry, we've had to modify our culture and become a bit more planned.
Phil Knight
Guerrilla war is a kind of war waged by the few but dependent on the support of many.
B. H. Liddell Hart
Insurrection by means of guerrilla bands is the true method of warfare for all nations desirous of emancipating themselves from a foreign yoke. It is invincible, indestructible.
Giuseppe Mazzini
