More quotes by Oriana Fallaci
True power does not need arrogance, a long beard and a barking voice. True power strangles you with silk ribbons, charm and intelligence.
Oriana Fallaci
The increased presence of Muslims in Italy and in Europe is directly proportional to our loss of freedom.
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
Instead of learned young people we have donkeys with University degrees. Instead of future leaders we have mollusks with expensive blue jeans and phony revolutionaries with ski masks. And do you know what? Maybe this is another reason why our Moslem invaders have such an easy game.
Oriana Fallaci
Journalism combines adventure with culture.

Oriana Fallaci

Oriana Fallaci
I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.
Oriana Fallaci
The more democratic and open a society is, the more it's exposed to terrorism. The more a country is free, not governed by a police regime, the more it risks hijackings or massacres like the ones that took place for many years in Italy and Germany and other parts of Europe.
Oriana Fallaci
Objectivity does not exist - it cannot exist!.. The word is a hypocrisy which is sustained by the lie that the truth stays in the middle. No, sir: Sometimes truth stays on one side only.
Oriana Fallaci
To have realized your dream makes you feel lost.
Oriana Fallaci
Wojtyla was a warrior, who did more to end the Soviet Union than even America.
