Oriana Fallaci
I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born.
Oriana Fallaci
I am angry at the Jews for many things... If you want to take the example of America, how they hold the power, the economical power in so many ways, and the press and the other kind of stuff... I never realized how it happened and they came to control the media to that point. Why?
Oriana Fallaci
But to deny fate is arrogance, to declare that we are the sole shapers of our existence is madnessif you deny fate life becomes the series of missed opportunities, a regret for what never was and could have been, a remorse of what was not done and could have been done, and the present is wasted, twisted into another missed oppurtunity.
Oriana Fallaci

Oriana Fallaci
How do you dare to ask me for a solution? It's like asking Seneca for a solution. You remember what he did? He committed suicide!
Oriana Fallaci
Listening to someone talk isn't at all like listening to their words played over on a machine. What you hear when you have a face before you is never what you hear when you have before you a winding tape.
Oriana Fallaci
I leave shreds of my soul on every experience.
Oriana Fallaci
The increased presence of Muslims in Italy and in Europe is directly proportional to our loss of freedom.
Oriana Fallaci
I know ours is a world made by men for men, their dictatorship is so ancient it even extends to language.
Oriana Fallaci
Love isn’t putting chain on someone who wants to struggle and is ready to die for it, love is letting him die in the way he’s chosen.
Oriana Fallaci
I didn't want to kill a man. I'm not capable of killing a man. I wanted to kill a tyrant.
Oriana Fallaci
You cannot survive if you do not know the past.
Oriana Fallaci
Khomeini was not a puppet like Arafat or Qaddafi or the many other dictators I met in the Islamic world. He was a sort of Pope, a sort of king - a real leader.
Oriana Fallaci
You wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth or love or freedom, you do everything to gain some right, and once it's gained you take no pleasure in it.
Oriana Fallaci
