Quotes by Tammy Pemper (?)

“Two unwritten rules of peacekeeping existed.
You’d expect it would be easy to keep two rules, but I broke the first one.

I had to break it to allow myself to live the passion that drove and controlled me, that distinguished one decision from another and determined where I drew my lines. I broke the rule to remain human.”
― Tammy Pemper, Scorched Earth: Peacekeeping in Timor during a campaign of death and destruction

tags: biography, memoir, peace, peacekeeping, remain-human, war

“But daylight brought with it a wonder. None of us had expected to see it again. And as the darkness lost its intensity, the new beginning carried with it sounds of subdued Timorese chatter. I hadn’t realised I’d started counting survival in hours.”
― Tammy Pemper, Scorched Earth: Peacekeeping in Timor during a campaign of death and destruction
